When you are not using your SCP-80 and headphones or
speakers are disconnected, insert the rubber plug back
into the jack to protect against moisture and
PHONES
dust.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use headphones.
• 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 perma-
nent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over
time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle
or riding a bicycle. This can cause a traffic hazard and
can be illegal in some areas.
