Important Safety and Usage Information
CAUTION:
As would be the case with any audio device, such as headphones or a headset,
that carries amplified sound to the ears, misuse of such a device or use at excessive volume
levels may cause hearing impairment or loss of hearing. The following safety instructions must
be followed when using the all-in-one headset or the belt-pac transceiver with headphones.
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in injury.
Avoiding Hearing Damage:
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the all-in-one headset or
belt-pac transceiver with headphone is used at excessive volume levels. Use only manufacturer
approved headphones with the belt-pac transceiver. Turn on the all-in-one headset / belt-pac
and check the volume prior to use. The audio volume may be adjusted by using the up / down
arrow buttons on the all-in-one headset or belt-pac.
Prolonged use at excessive volume levels over time may sound normal but can be damaging to
hearing. If you experience ringing in the ears or muffled speech sounds, discontinue use and
have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
The following precautions should be taken to protect your hearing:
Limit the amount of time you use the all-in-one headset / belt-pac at high volume.
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
Turn the volume down if you
can’t hear people speaking near you.
