Important information for hearing protection
Caution:
Your hearing is important to you and us. Therefore please be careful when
using this device. We recommend you to：
Avoid high volumes.

If the device is to be used by children, make sure that it is not set too loud.

Attention!
Volumes that are too high can cause irreparable damage to children’s hearing.

SETTING A SAFE VOLUME LEVEL
If you continually listen to loud music, your hearing gradually adapts to it and
gives you the impression that the volume is lower.
What seems normal to you can actually be damaging.
To protect yourself from this, set the volume to a low level.
Increase the volume slowly, until you can hear clearly and without problems.
Damage to your hearing can be extensive and cannot be reversed.
If you notice a problem with your ears, please consult a doctor.

Do not use the device when in traffic.
Traffic calls for your increased attention.
Wearing headphones and playing music too loud distracts you from the traffic.
Surrounding noises cannot be heard.
Accidents can result from lack of attention.

Interference with other equipment
If TV or radio interference occurs during use, place the device in a different
location in the room/building.
