Warning! Important
safety information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use your phone and/
or headset at a high volume. Set
the volume to a safe level. You
can adapt over time to a higher
volume of sound that may sound
normal but can be damaging to
your hearing. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled
speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked. The louder
the volume, the less time is
required before your hearing
could be affected. Hearing
experts suggest that to protect
your hearing:
†
Limit the amount of time
you use your phone and/or
headset at high volume.
†
Avoid turning up the volume to
block out noisy surroundings.
†
Turn the volume down if you
can’t hear people speaking
near you.
For information about how to set
a maximum volume limit on your
phone, see the features guide for
your phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while
operating a vehicle is not
recommended and is illegal
in some areas. Be careful and
attentive while driving. Stop
using your phone if you find it
disruptive or distracting while
operating any type of vehicle or
performing any other activity that
requires your full attention.
