Hearing safety
Danger
To avoid hearing damage limit the time you use the
headphones at high volume and set the volume to
a safe level. The louder the volume the shorter is
the safe listening time.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.
