The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a 
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through 
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most 
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. 
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing 
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so 
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and 
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting 
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing 
adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

•  Set your volume control at a low setting. 
•  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it 

comfortably and clearly, without distortion. 

•  Once you have established a comfortable sound 

level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING 
GUIDELINES:

•  Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t 

hear what’s around you.

•  Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in 

potentially hazardous situations.

•  Do not use headphones while operating a motorized 

vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic 
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug 
by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when 
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or 
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, 
etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a 
knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords 
should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped 
on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an 
electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. 
When you find it damaged, ask your nearest service center 
or your dealer for a replacement.
