Notes on safe listening
Road safety
Do not use your Walkman while operating a motorized vehicle. Doing so may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Avoid using your Walkman during sporting competition to avoid injury.
Avoid listening to your Walkman in situations where hearing must not be impaired.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using your Walkman at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud
and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue
use.
Do not turn the volume up high all at once, especially when using your Walkman. Turn up the
volume gradually to avoid excessive levels hurting your ears.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be
considerate to people around you.
About the in-ear headphones
The earbuds seal your ears. Therefore, be aware that there is a risk of damage to your ears or
eardrums if strong pressure is applied to the earbuds, or the earbuds are suddenly removed from
your ears. After use, be sure to take the earbuds off your ears gently.
