The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe
level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly
without annoying blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort
level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level,
set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear
what’s around you.
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas. S001a_A1_En
