Philips reserves the right to change products at  
any time without being obliged to adjust earlier  
supplies accordingly.

a Philips model identical to that of the original.  
The material in this manual is believed  
adequate for the intended use of the system.  
If the product, or its individual modules or  
procedures, are used for purposes other than  
those specified herein, confirmation of their  
validity and suitability must be obtained.

your headphones:  
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable  
periods of time.  
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic  
materials may be attracted to the device. Do  
not place credit cards or other magnetic storage  
media near the device, because information  
stored on them may be erased.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume higher as

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend  
that a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres

prohibited. Switch off your device before  
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless  
teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous  
to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the  
wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.  
Always keep the wireless device more than  
15.3 centimetres (6 inches) from the medical  
device when the wireless device is turned on.  
Not carry the wireless device in a breast  
pocket.  
Turn the wireless device off immediately  
if there is any reason to suspect that  
interference is taking place.  
Read and follow the directions from the  
manufacturer of their implanted medical  
device.  
Potentially explosive environments  
Switch off your device when in any area with  
a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey  
all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive  
atmospheres include areas where you would  
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle  
engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an  
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or  
even death. Switch off the device at refuelling  
points such as near gas pumps at service  
stations. Observe restrictions on the use of  
radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and  
distribution areas; chemical plants; or where  
blasting operations are in progress.  
If you have any questions about using your  
wireless device with an implanted medical  
device, consult your health care provider.  
Hearing aids  
Some digital wireless devices may interfere  
with some hearing aids. If interference occurs,  
consult your service provider.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere  
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They  
include below deck on boats, chemical transfer  
or storage facilities and areas where the air  
contains chemicals or particles such as grain,  
dust, or metal powders. You should check with  
the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied  
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to  
determine if this device can be safely used in  
their vicinity.  
Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or  
inadequately shielded electronic systems in  
motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection  
systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking  
systems, electronic speed control systems, and  
air bag systems. For more information, check  
with the manufacturer, or its representative, of  
your vehicle or any equipment that has been  
added.  
Only qualified personnel should service the  
device or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty  
installation or service may be dangerous and  
may invalidate any warranty that may apply to  
the device. Check regularly that all wireless  
device equipment in your vehicle is mounted

Frequently asked questions  
The operating system stops responding  
after restart  
The SpeechMike is connected to the  
computer but sound will play on the  
computer’s speaker only  
Windows XP can support only one  
playback device at a time and may  
require setting the playback device back  
to “SpeechMike Air” if another playback  
device was enabled after the SpeechMike  
was installed.  
Using the Philips SpeechMike together  
with certain USB hubs may cause the  
operating system to stop responding  
when the computer is started.  
Unplug the SpeechMike before starting the PC  
and reconnect it afterwards. We recommend  
replacing the USB hub or connecting your  
SpeechMike directly to the USB port of the
