Protect Your Ears and Yourself
• Always follow traffic safety directions . Do not use earbuds or
headphones while operating a bicycle, automobile, or motorcycle . Not
only is it dangerous, it may be illegal .
• Make sure the earbud or headphone cable does not get in the way
of your arms or other surrounding objects while you're walking or
exercising .
• Maintain a moderate volume when walking or exercising . Always be
aware of what is happening around you .
• Using earbuds or headphones for a long time and/or at high volume
can cause serious damage to your hearing . If you hear ringing in your
ears, STOP listening immediately .
Sound can be deceiving . Over time, your hearing "comfort level" adapts to
higher and higher volumes . What sounds "normal" may be dangerously loud .
TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL: Start the volume control at a low setting .
Slowly increase the volume until you can hear comfortably, without
distortion, and still be aware of your surroundings .
ONCE YOU ESTABLISH A COMFORTABLE SOUND LEVEL: Leave the
volume at that level; do not increase it over time . SIRIUS | XM and the
Consumer Electronics Association recommend that you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise . Sustained sound levels above 85 decibels can
be dangerous without hearing protection . (For reference, a garbage disposal
or loud shouting at 3 feet are about 80 decibels; a food blender or gas lawn
blower at 3 feet are around 90 decibels .) SIRIUS | XM disclaims all liability
for hearing loss, bodily injury, or property damage as a result of use or
misuse of this product .
