Listening Safety
Do not wear headphones, earphones, or earbuds while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and
could be illegal in some areas.
Toprotectyourhearing,followtheseguidelines:
• Donotlistenathighvolumelevels.Extendedhigh-volumelistening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Setthevolumetothelowestsetting.Thenturnonyouraudio
device and adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Avoidincreasingthevolume.Yourearswilladapttothevolume
level, so a level that does not cause discomfort could still damage
your hearing.
