EST. 1924

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.
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. 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:

• Start 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:

• Leave it there.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
