TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless
handheld phones.
■ Tips on Efficient Operation
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone
to consume more power than otherwise needed.
■ Driving
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal
in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws and
regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them.
If you must use your phone while driving, please:
● Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.
● Use hands-free operation and/or one-touch, speed dialing, and auto
answer modes.
● Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.
Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious personal
injury and possible property damage.
■ Electronic Devices
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals. Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research. Never come closer than six (6) inches
to a person with a heart pacemaker implant when using your phone.
Doing so could result in interference with the function of the pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers:
● ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
● Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
● Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
● If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Hospitals and Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
■ Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
■ Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
■ Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your
phone OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain
prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative
before using your phone aboard an aircraft. Always follow the
instructions of the airline representative whenever using your phone
aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne
electronic equipment.
■ Blasting Areas
A
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio”.
Obey all signs and instructions.
■ Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
reas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Safety Information for FCC RF Exposure
Warning!
Read this information before using.
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96326 adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
■ SAR information
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.*
Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For
body-worn operations, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 2.0 cm from the
body. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation
of FCC RF Exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
TYKNX9320. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. if
this equipment does cause harmful interference to television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
■ FCC Compliance Information
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received.
Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION
The user who makes changes or modifications to the unit without the
express approval by the manufacturer will void user authority to
operate the equipment.
FDA Information
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Cell Phone Facts
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
■ What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones
with built-in antennas, often called “cell,”“mobile,” or “PCS” phones.
These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the
phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by
Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety
agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to
the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power
levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC’s
compliance limits.
■ Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof,
however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones
emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the
stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies
of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
■ What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold,
as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit
radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In
such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones
to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the
phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number
of steps, including the following:
● Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by wireless phones;
● Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for device function; and
● Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on
human health
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies
that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to
this working group:
● National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
● Environmental Protection Agency
● Federal Communications Commission
● Occupational Safety and Health Administration
● National Telecommunications and Information Administration The
National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working
group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for
wireless phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC
safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other
health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. FCC also
regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon.
While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get
from wireless phones. Base stations are
thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this
document.
■ What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many
studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate
the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the
studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that
had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing
chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of
RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22
hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under
which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what
the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large
epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association
between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the
existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about
long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
■ What research is needed to decide whether RF
exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of
people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data
that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals
would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is
directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’
follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health
effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time
of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors
develop—if they do—may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many
factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the
phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
■ What is FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority
animal studies are conducted to address important questions about
the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). FDA has
been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its
inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has been the
development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven
the establishment of new research programs around the world. The
Project has also helped develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,
and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted
through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will
include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.
The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research
needs in the context of the latest research developments around the
world.
■ What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not know
that there is—it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the
amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
●If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place more distance between your body and
the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry
the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone
connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are
harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these
products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
■ What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to
lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described
above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance
between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure. Some
groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example
the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or
other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists.
■ Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from
exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits
reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF
energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF
emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the
phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use,
then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones
marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements
regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the
body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety
limit.
■ Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the
head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that
claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special
phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic
accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these
products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits,
these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the
phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate,
leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that
claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making
false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants
lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.
■ What about wireless phone interference with
medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of
implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by
the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000.
This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA
has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless
phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids
and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses
a “compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time.
This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be
found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and
work to resolve the problem.

Emergency Calls
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential
communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be avoided, since
a wireless phone requires a complex combination of radio signals, relay
stations and landline networks for its operation. Consequently,
emergency calls may not always be possible under all conditions on all
wireless phone systems. Your wireless phone, however, may
sometimes be the only available means of communication at the scene
of an accident. When making an emergency call, always give the
recipient all necessary information as accurately as possible. Never
terminate an emergency call until you have received clearance to do so.
■ FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) Rules
Background
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless
carriers to transmit specific latitude and longitude location (Automatic
Location Identification = ALI) information as well as “911” calls to
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify the location of the
caller in case of emergency. Generally, the rules require that carriers
identify an E911 caller’s location within 50 meters of the actual location
for 67 percent of calls and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95
percent of calls.
■ CASIO C771 TEMPORARY — ALI Capability
The CASIO C771 TEMPORARY is an ALI-capable phone equipped
with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a
satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI
requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is
dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by the wireless network;
(b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset (such
transmissions do not always work indoors, for example); and (c)
handset signals reaching wireless “base stations” (atmospheric and
environmental conditions may cause variations in handset receiving
signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to
system constraints within the wireless network to which the E911 signal
is transmitted and over which PCD has no control. Finally, customers
are advised that the CASIO C771 TEMPORARY’s ALI capability is to
be used for E911 purposes only.

dapter or loosened plug.
Games
■ Seizures/Blackouts
Warning
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic
seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights.
Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a computer screen, or
while playing video games, may induce an epileptic seizure in these
individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected
epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior
seizures or epilepsy.
If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult
your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following
symptoms while playing a video or computer game—dizziness, altered
vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any
involuntary movement, or convulsions—
IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your physician before
resuming play.
■ Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such
as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal
disorders:
●Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
●If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing,
stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
●If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after
play, stop playing and see a doctor.
Camera
Do not aim your camera at the Sun. The sunlight passing through the
Camera/Camcorder Lens may cause damage to the camera. Do not
use your camera’s flash close to a person’s eyes. This may cause the
person to lose eyesight temporarily and result in an accident. Do not
expose the Camera/Camcorder Lens to direct sunlight for a long
period of time. It may cause explosion or fire from light-focus action.
Do not use the flash on an automobile driver. It may startle the driver
and they may not be able to drive, which may cause an accident.
Accessibility
■ Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for Wireless
Telecommunications Devices
PCD’s Commitment
PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the
benefits of digital wireless technologies. We are committed to
providing a selection of compatible devices for our customers who
wear hearing aids. THIS PHONE HAS HAC RATINGS OF M3/T4
What is Hearing Aid Compatibility?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and
a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to
more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The
standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is
set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard
C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to
four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference
making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the
hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be
used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus reducing
unwanted background noise.
How will I know which wireless phones are Hearing Aid
Compatible?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless
phone box. A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic
coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital
wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive
coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
How will I know if my hearing aid will work with a
particular digital wireless phone?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide
which works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want to talk
with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your
hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone
shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.

■ Teletypewriter (TTY) Devices
You can use an optional teletypewriter (TTY) device with your phone to
send and receive calls. You must plug the TTY device into the phone’s
headset connector and set the phone to operate in one of three TTY
modes. A TTY is a communication device used by people who are hard
of hearing or have a speech impairment. TTY does not work from
mobile phone to mobile phone. Your phone has a 3.5mm jack. Use a
TSB-121 compliant cable (provided by the TTY manufacturer) and a
3.5mm to 2.5mm Audio Adapter to connect the TTY device to your
phone. Set the phone to Medium volume level for proper operation. If
you experience a high number of incorrect characters, adjust the
volume as needed to minimize the error rate. For optimal performance,
your phone should be at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the TTY
device. Placing the phone too close to the TTY device may cause high
error rates.
■ Avoid potential hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most
common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research
suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music
players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long
A
durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This
includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and
Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has
also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),
hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility
to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems
varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device
varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device
settings and the headphones. You should follow some common sense
recommendations when using any portable audio device:
●Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume
at which you can hear adequately.
●When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the
people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear
what you are listening to.
●Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment,
use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background
environmental noise.
●Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less
time is required before your hearing could be affected.
●
void using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such
as concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary
hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
●Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort.If you
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience
any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio
device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
