The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment 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 aff ecting 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 equipment 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 traffi c hazard and is illegal in many areas.
