Safety instructions
- DO NOT operate this device while driving, as this may lead to a traffic accident.

So after prolonged listening, what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.
- Listen for reasonable periods of time:
◦ Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally “safe” levels, can also cause hearing lose.
◦ Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
