WARNING
Always turn the volume down before connecting headphones or speakers, to
avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to loud sounds for
prolonged periods of time may permanently damage your hearing. Before
putting on headphones, place them around your neck and turn the volume
down. When you put on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until you
find a comfortable listening level. When you can hear comfortably and clearly,
without distortion, leave the volume control in that position.

Do not attempt to connect this product to the telephone line during a lightning
storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the telephone line
has been disconnected at the network interface. Never touch uninsulated
telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected
at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during a lightning storm.
There may be a risk from lightning. Do not use the telephone to report a gas
leak in the vicinity of the leak. All inputs and outputs are extra-safety low-
voltage circuits, except the telephone and line connectors, which are
telecommunications network voltage circuits. Always disconnect the host
computer from any analog telephone circuits before removing any covers.
Never touch or remove the communications card without first removing the
connection to the telephone network.
Your PC has a multimedia rear panel with headphone out, microphone

through the line in connector. You can also connect devices to the
MIDI/Joystick connector.
