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 hear ing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already exper ienced some hear ing loss.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hear ing ‘comfor t level’  adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and harmful to your hear ing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hear ing adapts and leave it there. 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 hear ing 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 traffichazard and is illegal in many areas.

Caution

• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.
