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.

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

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.
