Protect Your Ears
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. Set your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safer level: Start 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; taking a minute to do this now will help to preserve hearing.
Pioneer and the Consumer Electronics Association recommend you avoid prolonged exposure
to excessive noise. Under constant exposure such as sustained listening, sound levels above
85 decibels can be dangerous without hearing protection. (For reference, a garbage disposal
or loud shouting at 3 feet away are around 80 decibels; a food blender or gas lawn mower
at 3 feet away are around 90 decibels.) The longer your exposure and/or higher the sound
level, the greater the danger of permanent hearing damage. Pioneer disclaims all liability for
hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage as a result of use or misuse of this product.

Maintain a moderate volume when walking or exercising, so that you can be aware
of what is happening around you.
Using earbuds or headphones for an extended time can cause serious damage to your
hearing.
We strongly advise you to set the volume level to medium, which is usually less than 2/3
of the maximum.
If you hear ringing in your ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earbuds or
headphones.
