at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme
caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Do not use headphones/earphones
at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud
and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears,
