Important Safety Information
Safety Information for Communications and Multimedia Models
Before connecting the headphones or speakers, always turn the volume
down to avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to
loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may permanently damage
your hearing. Before putting on the headphones, place them around
your neck and turn the volume down. Then, put on the headphones
and slowly increase the volume by using the Audio Mixer Applet or the
enhanced keyboard until you find a comfortable listening level, where
the sound is clear, without being too loud. When you can hear
comfortably and clearly, without distortion, leave the volume control in
that position.
