Listening to music at high volumes for long periods can lead to hearing problems. We do not •
recommend using these headphones at maximum volume, particularly for long periods of time.
To protect your hearing, turn down the volume of your music player before connecting your •
headphones. After putting on the headphones, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a
suitable level. Sound levels are measured in decibels (dB). Exposure to sound 85 dB or above may
result in gradual loss of hearing. Monitor your use. Hearing loss depends on the intensity of the sound
and the duration. The higher the volume, the less your exposure capacity will last. The lower the
volume, the longer your exposure period can be.
Be responsible: pay attention to your environment (acoustic) when you are wearing your •
headphones and listening to music or the radio.
Avoid hazardous behavior that may cause an accident for you or somebody else (pedestrians, •
motorcyclists, drivers, cyclists) or cause damage to property when you are wearing your
headphones.
Parrot would like to inform you that the use of stereo headphones is strictly forbidden when driving a •
motor vehicle. Parrot also recommends not listening to music or the radio through your headphones
when riding a bicycle, a scooter or any other means of transport for which it is not compulsory to wear
a helmet. Parrot cannot accept any responsibility if you choose to ignore these warnings.
