Caution: Avoid Potential Hearing; Loss - LG LG9600 User Manual

Safety
Do not turn your phone on or off
●
when putting it to your ear.
Use accessories, such as
●
earphones and headsets, with
caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Caution:
Avoid potential hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
(including music) is the most
common cause of preventable
hearing loss. Some scientific
research suggests that using
portable audio devices, such
as portable music players and
cellular telephones, at high volume
settings for long durations may
lead to permanent noise induced
hearing loss. This includes the use
of headphones (including headsets,
earbuds and Bluetooth® or other
wireless devices). Exposure to very
loud sound has also been associated
in some studies with tinnitus (a

ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity
to sound and distorted hearing.
Individual susceptibility to noise-
induced hearing loss and other
potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced
by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the
sound, the device, the device
settings and the headphones. You
should follow some commonsense
recommendations when using any
portable audio device:
Set the volume in a quiet
●
environment and select the
lowest volume at which you can
hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn
●
the volume down if you cannot
hear the people speaking near
you or if the person sitting next
to you can hear what you are
listening to.
Do not turn the volume up to
●
block out noisy surroundings.
