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 blar-
ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out 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 dis-
tortion.
!
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.
