Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in injury or damage.
Avoid Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if your iPod or iPhone is used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
ÂÂ Limit the amount of time you listen at high volume.
ÂÂ Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
ÂÂ Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit, see the user guide for your iPod or iPhone.
