To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
•
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
•
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at
•
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing
loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
•
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when
using your headphones.
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
•
periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
•
hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you
•
can’t hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily
•
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traf c
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Know these safety symbols
This ‘bolt of lightning’ indicates uninsulated material
within your unit may cause an electrical shock. For
the safety of everyone in your household, please do
not remove product covering.
The ‘exclamation point’ calls attention to features
for which you should read the enclosed literature
closely to prevent operating and maintenance
problems.

Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
Using headphones at a high volume can impair
•
your hearing. This product can produce
sounds in decibel ranges that may cause
hearing loss for a normal person, even for
exposure less than a minute. The higher
decibel ranges are offered for those that may
have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
•
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening,
what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. To guard against this,
set your volume to a safe level before your
hearing adapts and leave it there.
