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 "comfort

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.

● Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort

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.

● You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in

potentially hazardous situations.

● Do not use headphones while operating a motorized

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is ﬁtted with an approved 13Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug, proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2

Fix the new fuse which should be a BS1362 5Amp,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Reﬁt the fuse cover.

If the ﬁtted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug should be ﬁtted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, it should have a value of 5 Amp.If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed, so as to avoid a possible shock hazard due to it being inserted into another 13-Amp socket.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured using the following codes: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

● As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal

marked N or coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal

marked L or coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth

terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

For å redusere faren for brann eller elektrisk støt, skal apparatet ikke utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.

Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead and not simply over the two wires.
