• 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.

aroundyou.
• Youshouldusecautionortemporarilydiscontinueusein
potentiallyhazardoussituations.Donotuseheadphoneswhile
