Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you
use the headset.

• Set the phone’s volume to the lowest set ting 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
time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a vol­ume level that doe s not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.
