DEAR JENSEN® CUSTOMER
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start
of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun
and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your
equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and
clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
zStart your volume control at a low setting.
zSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
zSet the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment.
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this
manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its bottom cover. You should note the
serial number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your
purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.
