When using your headphones with an unfamiliar or unstable sound
4
system (airplane, public access ports, etc.), make sure the volume is
low to prevent "break-in" bursts of loud sounds.
Keep your M-Audio headphones away from young children. This
4
product includes small parts that may create a choking hazard.
M-Audio recommends limiting the use of headphones. Different
4
individuals may be impacted to a different degree by high noise
levels (volumes exceeding 85 dB(A)). Regular exposure to loud
headphones may be dangerous to your hearing and can cause
permanent hearing loss.
Please review and consider the following Occupational Safety Health
Administration ("OSHA") guidelines regarding the maximum time
exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage may occur.
