LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use the earphone:
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the
volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume
level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Do not wear the earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can cause a trafc hazard
and is illegal in some areas. Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear outside sounds
when listening at normal volume level, they still present a trafc hazard.
