Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This•
product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing
loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already
experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’•
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what
sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.•
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and•
clearly, without distortion.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your
headphones.
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.•
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.•
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around•
you.
You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially•
hazardous situations. Do not use headphones while operating a
motorizedvehicle,cycling,skateboarding,etc.;itmaycreateatrafc
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
