• This product should never be placed over or near a heat source and should not be placed in locations

• If you experience a skin irritation after using this product, discontinue use and contact Plantronics.
• Exposure to high volume sound levels may cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing.
Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use your
headset with the volume set at moderate levels and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound
levels. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. You may
experience different sound levels when using your headset with different devices. The device you use
and its settings affect the level of sound you hear. If you experience hearing discomfort, you should
stop listening to the device through your headset and have your hearing checked by your doctor. To
protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that you:
1. Set the volume control in a low position before putting the headset on your ears and use as low a
volume as possible.
2. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Whenever possible, use your headset
in a quiet environment with low background noise.
3. Limit the amount of time you use headsets at high volume levels.
4. Turn the volume down if the sound from the headset prevents you from hearing people speaking
near you. See plantronics.com/healthandsafety for more information on headsets and hearing.
