Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

Using headphones at a high volume can •
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that
may cause hearing loss for a normal
person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are
offered for those that may have already
experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your •
hearing ‘comfor t level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can
actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

Set your volume control at a low setting. •
Slowly increase the sound until you can •
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

Prolonged exposure to sound, even •
at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment •
reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.

Listen at reasonable volumes for •
reasonable periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as •
your hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that •
you can’t hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily •
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

n Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent

battery leakage which may result in
bodily injury, property damage, or
damage to the unit:

Install all batteries correctly, + and - •
as marked on the unit.
Do not mix batteries (old and new •
or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
Remove batteries when the unit is •
not used for a long time.
Batteries (battery pack or batteries •
installed) shall not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire
or the like.

o Apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

p Do not place any sources of danger on

the apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects,
lighted candles).

q Where the plug of the Direct Plug-

in Adapter is used as the disconnect
device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.

Warning

Never remove the casing of this apparatus. •
Never lubricate any par t of this apparatus. •
Never place this apparatus on other electr ical •
equipment.
Keep this apparatus away from direct sunlight, naked

•

flames or heat.
Never look into the laser beam inside this apparatus.

•

Ensure that you always have easy access to the •
power cord, plug or adaptor to disconnect this
appar atus from the power.
