Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or ear­
phones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous ex­
tended play.
If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motor­
ized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or
temporarily discontinue use in poten­
tially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or ear­
phones are the open-air type designed
to lot you hear outside sourids, don’t
turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time
your hearing “comfort level" adapts to
higher volumes of sound. So what
sounds “normal" can actually be loud
and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a sate level:
■Start your volume control at a low
setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you
can hear it comfortably and clearly,
and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfort­
able sound level:
•Set the dial and leave it there.
