Important Safety Information
To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it.
WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended
periods of time, so it is important to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to
loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears after listening with the headset, it means the volume is set too
loud. The louder the volume is set, the less time it takes to affect your hearing. So, please take care
to listen at moderate levels.
· Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely, then slowly increase it to
a comfortable level.
· Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
· Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
