IMPORTANT NOTES

Hearing is very important to you and to us so plea se take care when operating this e quipment.
It is strongly recommended that you follow the listed guid elines in order to prevent possible
damage or loss of hearing.

ESTABLISH A SAFE SOUND LEVEL

Over time your heating will adapt to con tinuous lou d sounds and w ill give the impression that
the volume has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful.
To guard against this BEFORE YOUR HEARING ADAPTS set the volume at a level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.
