Safety Information

Please read this owner's and product guide
Reading this guide will ensure proper and safe use of your Soul® headphones. Follow
all operation guidelines and adhere to all safety warnings and cautions.
Warning
!
Use your headphones responsibly. Exposure to excessively loud noise can cause Noise
Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). "The loudness of sound is measured in units called deci-
bels. For example, the humming of a refrigerator is 40 decibels, normal conversation
is approximately 60 decibels, and city traffic noise can be 85 decibels. Sources of noise
that can cause NIHL include motorcycles, firecrackers, and small firearms, all emitting
sounds from 120 to 150 decibels. Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above
85 decibels can cause hearing loss. The louder the sound, the shorter the time period
before NIHL can occur. Sounds of less than 75 decibels, even after long exposure, are
unlikely to cause hearing loss."

Before plugging your Soul® headphones into your phone or multimedia device, make
sure that the volume has been set to zero (0) and the power is off. Once you have
turned on the device, increase the volume to a safe and comfortable level. Putting on
your headphones and turning on at full volume may cause damage to your hearing.
Keep headphones out of reach of small children. These headphones are not a toy and
could be harmful to small children.

Maximum Level before hearing
damage begins. OSHA
recommends no more than 8
hours of exposure to sound levels
of 90 dB daily.
Permanent Hearing Loss likely due
to prolonged unprotected exposure.
At 125 dB the human ear begins to
experience pain that can lead to
permanent hearing loss even
during short unprotected periods.
