Hearing Safety
Danger
To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use
headphones at high volume and set the volume to
a safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter the
safe listening time is.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headset.
• 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.
• Using headphones with both ears
covered while driving is not recommend-
ed and may be illegal in some areas while
driving.
• For your safety, avoid distractions from
music or phone calls while in traffic or
other potentially dangerous environ-
ments.
