The Safety of Your
Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equip-
ment by playing it at a safe level—a
level that lets the sound come
through clearly without annoying
blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing. 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 equip-
ment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low
setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until
you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a
comfortable sound level, set the
dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so
high that you can't hear what's
around you.
• Use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle;
the use of headphones may
create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in many areas.
