Avoiding hearing damage
Ź
Permanent hearing loss may occur if
you use your phone and/or headset at
a high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher
volume of sound that may sound normal

you experience ringing in your ears or
muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked. The louder the
volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing
experts suggest that to protect your
hearing:
Ź
Limit the amount of time you use your
phone and/or headset at high volume.
Ź
Avoid turning up the volume to block out

Turn the volume down if you can’t hear

about how to set a maximum volume limit
on your phone, see the features guide for
your phone.

is not recommended and is illegal in some
areas. Be careful and attentive while driving.
Stop using your phone if you find it disruptive

vehicle or performing any other activity that
requires your full attention.
