Safety
to you can hear what you are
listening to.
l
Do not turn the volume up to
block out noisy surroundings. If
you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-
cancelling headphones to block
out background environmental
noise.
l
Limit the amount of time you
listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
l
Avoid using headphones after
exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts,
that might cause temporary
hearing loss. Temporary hearing
loss might cause unsafe volumes
to sound normal.
l
Do not listen at any volume that
causes you discomfort. If you
experience ringing in your ears,
hear muffled speech or
experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening
to your portable audio device,
discontinue use and consult
your doctor.
