Klipsch Earphones - Manual (Page 2)

1) READ these instructions.
2) KEEP these instructions.
3) FOLLOW all these instructions.
4) If you hear ringing or experience pain or discomfort in your ears during or after using any in-ear
audio product, that is a sign you are listening too loud. When your ears are exposed to high
volumes (in excess of 85dB) for over an hour, you may be permanently damaging your hearing.
5) Turn down your listening device’s volume to zero before you insert the Klipsch earphones
and turn on the device. Once you have the earphones in, gradually increase the volume to a
comfortable, moderate volume.
6)
Clean your earphones with an antiseptic wipe frequently to avoid wax buildup. This improves the
acoustic quality of your earphones.
7) NEVER operate a motor vehicle while listening to or wearing your earphones. Not only
dangerous, it is illegal in many places.
8) NEVER operate heavy machinery while listening to or wearing your earphones.
9) We don’t recommend you use the earphones while riding a bicycle, running, or walking in heavy
traffic areas. If you do, do not fully insert the earphones into your ear and listen at a lower volume
so you can hear ambient noise.
Listen Responsibly
The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has issued earphone usage
recommendations for maximum daily exposure and sound pressure levels (measured in decibels
(dB)). A decibel is a unit of measure of sound, and decibels increase exponentially as sound gets
louder. For example, conversational speech is typically around 60dB, and a rock concert in a
stadium is often about 110dB.
Sound Pressure Level Recommended Maximum Exposure Per Day
90dB 8 Hours
95dB 4 Hours
100dB 2 Hours
105dB 1 Hours
110dB 30 Minutes
