Hearing Safety Listen at a moderate volume. -Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. -Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfor t level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there. To establish a safe volume level: -Set your volume control at a low setting. -Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfor tably and clearly, without distor tion. Listen for reasonable periods of time: -Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss. -Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks. 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 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. -Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
