Health and Safety Information 20
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough
handling can break internal circuit boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the
device’s moving parts or ventilation openings and
prevent proper operation.
Responsible Listening
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to
loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases
as sound is played louder and for longer durations.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is
the most common cause of preventable hearing loss.
Some scientific research suggests that using portable
audio devices, such as portable music players and cell
phones, at high volume settings for long durations may
lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This
includes the use of headphones (including headsets,
earbuds, and Bluetooth
® or other wireless devices).
Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in
some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),
hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential
hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound
produced by a portable audio device varies depending on
the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the
headphones that are used. As a result, there is no single
volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for
every combination of sound, settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:
• Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones
into an audio source.
