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.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolongedexposuretosound,evenatnormally‘safe’levels,can
alsocausehearingloss.
• Besuretouseyourequipmentreasonablyandtakeappropriate
breaks.
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.
Wherethemainsplugoranappliancecouplerisusedasthedisconnect
