- You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
- Excessive sound pressure from earpieces and headphones can cause hearing loss.
- Using headphones with both ears covered while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some areas.
- For your safety, avoid distractions from music or phone calls while in traffic or other potentially dangerous environments.
