Avoiding hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your Headset

affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
•Limit the amount of time you use Headset at high volume.
•Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
•Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.
Please refer to your handset user guide for more information on how to adjust listening
levels on your handset.
