Audio-Technica’s ATH-ANC20 QuietPoint
®
headphones use active noise-cancelling
technology to provide a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient
noise. The headphones feature a miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up
ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.) and creates a sound-cancelling
signal to effectively block the noise.
• QuietPoint
®
active noise cancelling headphones cut ambient noise by up to 80%
• Use for MP3, CD, DVD and in-flight entertainment systems; remove detachable cable
for noise-cancelling function without audio input
• Audio functions (in passive mode) even without the battery
• Fully integrated electronics—no external modules needed
• Compact folding design is ideal for travel
• Includes a protective pouch

Using your headphones
Listening to music/audio
1. Connect the straight end of the included headphone cable to the port on the left
earcup, making certain the plug is firmly seated.
2. Connect the right angle end of the headphone cable to the headphone jack of
your audio device. Use the included airline adapter to connect to typical airline
audio systems.
3. Wear the left earpiece (marked L) on your left ear; and the right earpiece (marked R)
on your right ear. Adjust the headband as needed for a comfortable fit.
4. To activate noise-cancelling function, move the power switch up; the power indicator
should light (red). (If you do not wish to use the active noise-cancelling function, move
power switch to the down position.)
5. Turn on your audio device. (Volume should be set at a low level at first; adjust as
necessary on audio device.) To prevent damage to your eardrums, never use
excessive volume levels.
There is an in-line volume control on the cable provided with your ATH-ANC20 headphones,
which you may use to adjust volume of your music. Note that the maximum volume heard
through the headphones is limited by the setting on your music source. If the volume on
your source is at the minimum setting, you may not be able to hear your music adequately.
Noise-cancelling only
To activate noise-cancelling function, move the power switch on your headphones to the
“ON” position; power indicator should light (red). In this case, there is no need to connect
the headphone cable; simply turn the headphones on and wear them.
After using
When you have finished using your headphones, move the power switch to the
down position.

ambiental suponga un riesgo importante (como cuando maneja un vehículo
motorizado o una bicicleta, o en pasos a nivel, estaciones de tren, lugares en
construcción o en vías en las que circulen vehículos y bicicletas).
• Los auriculares con cancelación de ruido hacen que sea difícil oír sonidos
exteriores de tonos bajos. Preste atención para poder reconocer pitidos de
advertencia y otros avisos sonoros; sea consciente de que el sonido familiar
de esas alertas puede ser cambiado por los auriculares.
• Para evitar daños en los tímpanos, no use nunca los auriculares con niveles
de volumen excesivos. Escuchar sonidos fuertes durante un prolongado
período de tiempo puede causar pérdida auditiva temporal o permanente.
• No guarde los auriculares expuestos directamente al sol, cerca de aparatos
de calefacción o en lugares calientes, húmedos o expuestos al polvo.

Avvertenze
Si prega di leggere le seguenti avvertenze prima dell’uso. Si consiglia di attenersi
alle seguenti avvertenze per un corretto funzionamento dell’apparecchio.
• Non smontare o cercare di riparare le cuffie.
• Non utilizzare le cuffie in tutti i casi in cui l’impossibilità di udire rumori esterni
possa comportare un rischio per se stessi o per gli altri (come ad esempio alla
guida di un veicolo a motore o di una bicicletta, in prossimità di passaggi a
livello o stazioni ferroviarie, cantieri edili o di strade trafficate).
• Le cuffie con riduzione del rumore rendono difficile l’ascolto di toni bassi
provenienti dall’esterno. Prestare attenzione agli avvisi e ai promemoria
sonori; il suono di questi avvisi potrebbe risultare alterato una volta indossate
le cuffie.
• Per prevenire il danneggiamento dei timpani si consiglia di non utilizzare le
cuffie ad un volume troppo elevato. Ascoltare musica a volume elevato e per
periodi prolungati può causare la perdita temporanea o permanente dell’udito.
