Important Safety Information To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it. WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears after listening with the headset, it means the volume is set too loud. The louder the volume is set, the less time it takes to affect your hearing. So, please take care to listen at moderate levels. · Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely, then slowly increase it to a comfortable level. · Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you. ·...
