Hearing Safety

conditions.

Danger

To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use
earphones at high volume and set the volume to a
safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter the safe
listening time is.

To prevent accidents and damage to ears:

• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods

what’s around you.
