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

• 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 time, your ears adapt
to the volume level, so a volume level
that does not cause discomfort initially
might still damage your hearing.

bicycle in or near traffic. Doing so can create
a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some
areas.

If you use a headset with your intercom
while riding a bicycle, be very careful. Do not
listen to a continuous broadcast. Even
though some headsets let you hear some
outside sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still can present a traffic
hazard.
