Cautions
EST. 1924
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
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.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Leave it there.
This product may receive radio interference caused by mobile telephones or other products
during operation. If such interference is apparent, please increase separation between the
product and the mobile telephone or other product.
Caution:
• Use only the provided shielded interface cables when connecting to computer.
• To reduce risk of radio interference caused by headphone-, earphone- or microphone cable,
only use adequate accessories with cable length less than 3 m.

or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

• To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions.
• Use only the provided shielded interface cables when connecting to computer.
