Danger

use headphones at high volume and set the
volume to a safe level. The louder the

you.
• You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
• Excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss.
• Using headphones with both ears
covered while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some
areas while driving.

from music or phone calls while in
trac or other potentially dangerous
environments.
