required before your hearing could be aected.

Hearing experts suggest that to protect your
hearing:

Limit the amount of time you use the headset

�

at high volume.
Avoid turning up the volume to block out

�

noisy surroundings.
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people

�

speaking near you.
If you use music playback or

�

voice information in outdoor,
there is a danger of accident
due to noise blocking.
