Earphones
When a conductive apparatus, such as earphones, is used in close proximity with a CRT
l
television or CRT monitor, the latter may emit an electrostatic discharge. This electrostatic
discharge can be felt as a static shock. While this static shock is usually harmless, it is good
practice to avoid close contact with CRT devices when using earphones.
Do not listen to audio on your earbuds or headphones at high volume for prolonged periods of
l
time as hearing loss may result. For users in the United States, go to www.hei.org for more
information.
Do not listen to your audio device at high volume when driving, cycling or crossing the road,
l
especially in heavy traffic or any other traffic condition where such use will hinder safe travel on
the roads. We recommend that consumers be extremely cautious when using this device on the
road.
Avoid Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headphone is used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be
damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and
have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could
be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
Limit the amount of time you use the headphone at high volume.
l
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
l
Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.
