IMPORTANT NOTES
Your hearing is very important to you and to us so please take care when operation this equipment. The
following guidelines are provided for your information.
ESTABLISH A SAFE SOUND LEVEL
•Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the impression that the
volume has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against
this BEFORE YOUR HEARING ADAPTS set the volume at a low level.
•Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearing and without distortion.
•Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.
•Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.
•Remember listening for prolonged period of time at high volume levels will harm your hearing.
Once you have established a comfortable listening level, DO NOT INCREASE THE SOUND LEVEL
FURTHER.
