many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your
headphones at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian
crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or
discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear
outside sounds and to be considerate to people around you.
Warning
If there is lightning when you are using the unit, take off the
headphones immediately.
Cautions on Water-resistance
This unit is designed so that it can be used with slight exposure to rain,
snow and other forms of moisture, but there are several points on which
caution should be observed.
• Do not allow it to come in contact with large amounts of water.

• If water should get on it or if it should fall into water, take it out
immediately and wipe it off with a dry cloth.
