Safety and handling
For additional safety and handling information,
see the AirPods User Guide at
support.apple.com/guide/airpods.
Important safety information
Handle AirPods and case with care. They
contain sensitive electronic components,
including batteries, and can be damaged, impair
functionality, or cause injury if dropped, burned,
punctured, crushed, disassembled, or if exposed
to excessive heat or liquid or to environments
having high concentrations of industrial
chemicals, including near evaporating liquified
gasses such as helium. Don’t use damaged
AirPods or case.
Batteries
Don’t attempt to replace AirPods or case
batteries yourself—you may damage the
batteries, which could cause overheating
and injury.
Charging
Charge the case with the charging cable and
a power adapter or computer or by placing the
case with status light facing up on a MagSafe,
Qi-certified, or Apple Watch wireless charger.
Only charge with an adapter that is compliant
with applicable country regulations and
international and regional safety standards.
Other adapters may not meet applicable safety
standards, and charging with such adapters
could pose a risk of death or injury. Using
damaged cables or chargers, or charging when
moisture is present, can cause fire, electric
shock, injury, or damage to the case or other
property. When using a wireless charger, avoid
placing metallic foreign objects on the charger
(for example, keys, coins, batteries, or jewelry),
as they may become warm or interfere with
charging.
Prolonged heat exposure
Avoid prolonged skin contact with a device,
its power adapter, the charging cable and
connector, or a wireless charger when plugged
into a power source, because it may cause
discomfort or injury. For example, while the
case is charging using the charging cable and a
power adapter or a wireless charger plugged into
a power source, don’t sit or sleep on the case,
charging cable, connector, power adapter, or
wireless charger, or place them under a blanket,
pillow, or your body. Take special care if you have
a physical condition that affects your ability to
detect heat against your body.
Hearing loss
Listening to sound at high volumes may
permanently damage your hearing. Background
noise, as well as continued exposure to high
volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter
than they actually are. Check the volume after
inserting AirPods in your ears and before playing
audio. For more information about hearing loss
and how to set a maximum volume limit, go to
apple.com/sound.
WARNING: To prevent possible
hearing damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods.
