GENERAL WARNINGS
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 per-
son, 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
"comfort 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
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
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.
