3. Replacement parts—
When parts need re¬

ified by the manufacturer or parts that have
the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—
After repairs or service, ask
the servicer to perform safety checks to con¬
firm that the unit is in proper working condi¬
tion.
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a
high volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle.
It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situ¬
ations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the
open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds ''normal" can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
•Start your volume control at a low setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
•Set the dial and leave it there.

The batteries used in this device may present
