Safety

Sound Levels

Your hearing is important to you and to us so
please take care when operating this equipment.
It is strongly recommended that you follow the
guidelines in order to prevent possible damage
to, or loss of hearing. Over time your hearing will
adapt to continuous load 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 initial
volume of the equipment to a low level.

Follow the steps below to ensure that the
product can be enjoyed at a comfortable
listening level:

1

Slowly increase the level until you can
hear comfortably and clearly and without
distortion.
