Safety Instructions
Your MP3 player is equipped with a variety of features. To help you maximize
your listening pleasure, SanDisk would like to advise you that it is important to
use the headphones with your MP3 player at a safe hearing level.
• Exposure or repeated exposure for an extended period of time to music and
other sounds that are too loud can cause damage to your hearing resulting
in temporary or even permanent “noise induced hearing loss”.
• Symptoms of hearing loss increase gradually with prolonged exposure at
high levels of loudness.
• Initially, you may not even be aware of the loss unless detected with a
hearing test.
• Your hearing may adapt to higher volumes of sound. In order to prevent any
harmful impact to your hearing, you must control the sound emanating from
your headphones and set the MP3 player’s volume to a low setting where
you can hear it clearly and comfortably.
• Studies, including one from NIDCD indicate that sounds of less than 80
decibels, even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause a hearing loss.
• Listen to your MP3 player at such a level that you can still hear conversation
and other people in your environment without shouting when you attempt
to converse.
• It can also be dangerous to play your music with headphones/earphones at
high volume while walking or engaged in other activities. You should
exercise extreme caution and discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
• Do not use headphones or earphones while driving, cycling, or operating
any motorized vehicle. This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in
some areas.
STOP!

HEARING LEVELS
To help you understand what may be considered a safe hearing level, the
following examples are included for your reference:
Refrigerator humming 40
Normal conversation 60
City traffic 80
Motorcycles/lawnmowers 90**
Rock concerts 110-120**
Firearms 120-140**
* dB – A decibel (dB) is a unit of relative measurement of the strength sound
wave. In decibels (dB), a measured signal level doubles with every additional
3 dB.
** These sound decibel levels are considered harmful under extended
exposure. The above information is courtesy of the National Institute of
Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD):
