•
Do not play your headset at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended
play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
• Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle or
bicycle, it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Even if your headset 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.
Headset Safety
• Alkaline batteries are recommended for longer play.
Carbon-zinc or nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries
can substantially reduce play time.
• If you’re not going to use your player for a month or
more, be sure to remove batteries because they can
leak and damage the unit.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according
to federal, state, and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a
different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all
batteries are not replaced at the same time, if
disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge
a battery not intended to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries
can cause skin burns or other personal injury.
