On headphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or
operating any motorized v^ehicle. It may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can
also be potentially dangerous to play your
headsets at high volume while walking,
especially at pedestrian crossings. You should
exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud
and extended play. If you experience a ringing in
your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will
allow you to hear outside sounds and to be
considerate to the people around you.
