Instruction Manual
Performance Note
Whilst this unit has been designed to provide the best possible anti shock protection when on
the move, it cannot provide completely uninterrupted playback whilst running or Jogging.
Your hearing is very important to you and to us so please take care when operating this
equipment. It is strongly recommended that you follow the listed guidelines in order to
prevent possible damage or loss of hearing:
ESTABLISH A SAFE SOUND LEVEL
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will 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
low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without
distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.
Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable listening level, DO NOT INCREASE THE SOUND
LEVEL FURTHER.
The following list of typical sound levels may assist you in recognizing just how loud you have
set the volume level.

continuous extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the

• Traffic safety: Do not use while operating a motorised vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and it’s illegal in areas. You should use extreme caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Even if your headset is an
open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so
high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
