Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
•
Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing. This product can pro-
duce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause
hearing loss for a normal person, even for
exposure less than a minute. The higher
decibel ranges are offered for those that may
have already experienced some hearing loss.
•
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher vol-
umes of sound. So after prolonged listening,
what sounds "normal" can actually be loud
and harmful to your hearing. To guard against
this, set your volume to a safe level before
your hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
•
Set your volume control at a low setting.
•
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear
it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
•
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at nor-
mally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
•
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guide-
lines when using your headphones.
•
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
•
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
•
Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
•
You should use caution or temporarily discon-
tinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
•
Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.;
it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than
herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure or other unsafe operation.
