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.
