IMPORTANT NOTES ON HEARING

Your hearing is very important to you and to us, so please take care when operating this equipment. We strongly recommend you to follow the guideline

below in order to prevent possible damage or loss of hearing.

If you continuously listen to the loud sounds, your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give you the impression that the volume has 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 and

slowly increase the volume level until you can hear comfortably and clearly 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. Once you have established a comfortable listening level, DO NOT INCREASE

THE VOLUME LEVEL FURTHER.

In the use of headphones, please take more attention. Hearing experts say that listening to a loud music can damage your hearing, especially when listening

to music with headphones.
