• Set the volume to zero before
putting on the headphones.
With the headphones on,
adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Avoid increasing the volume
once you set it. Over time,
your sensitivity to a volume
level decreases, so volume
levels that do not cause
discomfort might damage
your hearing.
• Avoid or limit listening at high
volume levels. Prolonged
exposure to high volume
levels can cause permanent
hearing loss.
Traffic Safety
Wearing headphones while
operating a motor vehicle or riding
a bicycle can create a traffic
hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.
Even though some headphones
let you hear some outside sounds
when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard. Exercise extreme
caution!
