Technical Specifications

Listening caution

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a
high volume. Hearing experts advise against con
tinuous extended play.
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 dis
continue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones is an open­air 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.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

oStart your volume control at a low setting.
©Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound

level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.
