your TV, cable box, or satellite box, by choosing one of the two options below.

Option 1 (recommended, if
available): Plug the red and
white ends of the RCA stereo
cable from the transmitter into
the corresponding red and
white audio output jacks on the
back of your TV
or on the back
of your cable or satellite box.
This allows you to adjust the
headset volume while others
can adjust the volume of the
television speakers.

Option 2: Plug the
headphone cable
into the headphone
jack on your TV. On
most televisions,
this disables the
television’s speakers,
so this option is not
ideal for multiple
viewers. Check the
settings on your TV for
available functionality.

• Exposure to high volume sound levels or excessive sound pressure may
cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing. Although there
is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should
always use your headset/headphones with the volume set at moderate
levels and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels. The
louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could
be affected. You may experience different sound levels when using your
headset/headphones with different devices. The device you use and its
settings affect the level of sound you hear. If you experience hearing
discomfort, you should stop listening to the device through your headset/
headphones and have your hearing checked by your doctor. To protect

12
your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that you:
1. Set the volume control in a low position before putting your headset/
headphones on your ears and use as low a volume as possible.
2. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Whenever
possible, use your headset/headphones in a quiet environment with low
background noise.
3. Limit the amount of time you use headsets/headphones at high volume
levels.
4. Turn the volume down if the sound from the headset/headphones
prevent you from hearing people speaking near you.
See plantronics.com/healthandsafety for more information on headsets/
headphones and hearing.

Such use is unlawful in many regions and will impair your ability to hear

104˚F).
• Utilisez uniquement des produits et accessoires Clarity conçus pour votre

• L’exposition à une pression sonore excessive ou à un volume élevé peut
endommager votre audition de manière temporaire ou permanente. Même
si aucun réglage de volume n’est approprié pour tous, vous devez toujours
régler le volume d’écoute à une intensité modérée et éviter d’utiliser un
volume élevé de façon prolongée. Plus le volume est élevé, plus vous risquez
d’endommager rapidement votre audition. Le volume de l’écouteur peut
varier en fonction de l’appareil avec lequel il est utilisé. L’appareil que vous

14
utilisez ainsi que ses paramètres modifient le volume. Si vous ressentez une
gêne auditive, arrêtez d’utiliser l’appareil avec les écouteurs et consultez un
médecin. Pour protéger votre audition, voici ce que des experts en matière
d’audition recommandent:
1. Réglez le volume à bas niveau avant de placer les écouteurs sur vos
oreilles et conservez le niveau sonore le plus bas possible lorsque
vous l’utilisez.
2. Évitez d’augmenter le volume pour vous isoler des bruits qui vous
entourent. Utilisez, si possible, les écouteurs dans un endroit
tranquille, sans trop de bruits de fond.
3. Limitez le temps d’utilisation à volume élevé.
4. Baissez le volume si le son provenant des écouteurs vous empêche
d’entendre les personnes qui parlent autour de vous.
Consultez le site plantronics.com/healthandsafety pour obtenir de plus amples
renseignements sur les écouteurs et l’audition.
• Ne pas utiliser des écouteurs qui couvrent les deux oreilles pendant
la conduite ou une bicyclette. Une telle utilisation est illégale dans de
nombreuses régions et nuire à votre capacité à entendre les sons autour de
vous, créer un danger pour vous et les autres.
