Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin
listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume
to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.
Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over
time, your ears adapt to t he volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discom fort might still
damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle
or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and
can be illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal vol ume levels, they
still can present a traffic hazard.
USING THE BELT CLIP
For hands-free carrying, slide the belt clip over your belt.
To remove the belt clip, turn the screw’s lock holding the
belt clip counterclockwise.
