Health/Safety Information 26
•
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume
settings over time, not realizing that the higher
volume may be harmful to your hearing.
•
When using headphones, turn the volume down
if you cannot hear the people speaking near
you or if the person sitting next to you can hear
what you are listening to.
•
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy
surroundings. If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy environment, use
noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise. By blocking
background environment noise, noise
cancelling headphones should allow you to
hear the music at lower volumes than when
using earbuds.
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the
volume increases, less time is required before
you hearing could be affected.
