Hearing Safety

Danger
•
To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use the headphones at high volume and
set the volume to a safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter is the safe listening
time.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume continuously upwards as your
hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around
you.
• You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
