∫AllergiesDiscontinue use if you experience discomfort with the ear-

Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.
∫Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high vol-
ume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extend-
ed play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontin-
ue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air
type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn
up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around
you.
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.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfort-
ably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥Leave it there.
