Listening Cautions
Do not listen to your earphones or headphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
Excessive volume through earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard
and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations created by obstructed hearing.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the 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.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher
volumes of sound. What sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing. Guard against this by setting the volume of your deviceat a safe
level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe volume level:
a. Start your volume control at a low setting.
b. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly,
and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, leave it there.
This manual may not reflect your actual device’s operation. All information is
subject to change without prior notification. Please follow your actual
