Earphones

l

Do not listen to audio on your earbuds or headphones at high volume for prolonged periods of time
as hearing loss may result. For users in the United States, go to

www.hei.org

for more information.

l

Do not listen to your audio device at high volume when driving, cycling or crossing the road,
especially in heavy traffic or any other traffic condition where such use will hinder safe travel on the
roads. We recommend that consumers be extremely cautious when using this device on the road.

Avoid Hearing Damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headphone is used at 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:

l

Limit the amount of time you use the headphone at high volume.

l

Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

l

Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.
