Important Notes

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

l

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 set the
volume at a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without

l

distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.

l

Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.

l

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 recognising just how loud you
have set the volume level.

Level dB Example

30dB Quiet library, soft whisper.
40 Living room, fridge freezer bedroom away from traffic.
50 Normal conversation, quiet office, light traffic.
60 Electric sewing machine,
