radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in ac cordan ce with th e inst ructio ns,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interferen c e to radio or televisi on

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over ti me, your ears adapt to
the volume level, so a volume level that
does not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.
