Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or ear­
phones at a high volume. Hearing ex­
perts advise against continuous extend­
ed play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears,
reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized
vehicle. If may create a traffic hazard
and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or tem­
porarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones
is an open-air type designed to let you
hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the
volume so high that you can’t hear
what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So what sounds “nor-
mai” can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equip­
ment at a safe level BEFORE your hear­
ing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
•Start your volume control at a low
setting,
•Slowly Increase the sound until you
can hear it comfortably and clearly,
and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfort­
able sound level:
•Set the dial and leave it there.
