Safety Information
Please read this owner's and product
guide
Reading this
guide
will ensure proper and safe use
of
your
Soul®
headphones. Follow all operation guidelines and adhere
to
all safety
warnings and cautions.
~Warning
Use
your
headphones responsibly. Exposure
to
excessively loud noise can cause Noise Induced Hearing
Loss
(NIHL). liThe loudness
of
sound
is
measured in units called decibels. For example,
the
humming
of
a refrigerator
is
40 decibels, normal conversation
is
approxi-
mately 60 decibels, and city traffic noise can be 85 decibels. Sources
of
noise
that
can cause NIHL include motorcycles, firecrackers, and
small firearms, all
emitting
sounds
from
120
to
150 decibels. Long
or
repeated exposure
to
sounds at
or
above
85
decibels can cause
hearing
loss.
The louder
the
sound,
the
shorter
the
time
period before NIHL can occur. Sounds
of
less
than
75
decibels, even after long
exposure, are unlikely
to
cause hearing loss:'

Level before hearing
damage begins.
OSHA
recommends no more than 8
hours
