Important Safety Information; Listen Responsibly - Klipsch Image X10 Owner's Manual

Important Safety Information

1) READ these instructions.
2) KEEP these instructions.
3) FOLLOW all these instructions.
4) If you hear ringing or experience pain or discomfort in your ears during or
after using any in-ear audio product, that is a sign you are listening too loud.
When your ears are exposed to high volumes (in excess of 85dB) for over an
hour, you may be permanently damaging your hearing.
5) Turn down your listening device's volume to zero before you insert the Klipsch
headphones and turn on the device. Once you have the headphones in,
gradually increase the volume to a comfortable, moderate volume.
6) Clean your headphones with an antiseptic wipe frequently to avoid wax buildup.
This improves the acoustic quality of your headphones.
7) NEVER operate a motor vehicle while listening to or wearing your
headphones. Not only dangerous, it is illegal in many places.
8) NEVER operate heavy machinery while listening to or wearing your headphones.
9) We don't recommend you use the headphones while riding a bicycle, running,
or walking in heavy traffic areas. If you do, do not fully insert the headphones
into your ear and listen at a lower volume so you can hear ambient noise.

Listen Responsibly

The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has issued headphone
usage recommendations for maximum daily exposure and sound pressure
levels (measured in decibels (dB)). A decibel is a unit of measure of sound,
and decibels increase exponentially as sound gets louder. For example,
conversational speech is typically around 60dB, and a rock concert in a stadium
is often about 110dB.
