Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use
headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before putting on the
headphones. After you put on the headphones, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time,
your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level
that does not cause discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be
illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.
