Warnings
• Exposure to high volume sound levels or excessive sound pressure may
cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing. Although there is no
single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use
your headset/headphones with the volume set at moderate levels and avoid
prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels. The louder the volume,
the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. You may
experience different sound levels when using your headset /headphones with
different devices. The device you use and its settings affect the level of sound
you hear. If you experience hearing discomfort, you should stop listening to
the device through your headset/headphones and have your hearing checked
by your doctor. To protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that
you:
1. Set the volume control in a low position before putting your headset or
headphones on your ears and use as low a volume as possible.
2. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Whenever
possible, use your headset or headphones in a quiet environment with low
background noise.
3. Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume
levels.
4. Turn the volume down if the sound from the headset/headphones prevent
you from hearing people speaking near you.
