( Before you start
The Safety
of
Your Ears
is
in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it
at
a safe
level-a
level that lets the sound
come through clearly
without
annoying blar-
ing
or
distortion and, most importantly, with-
out
affecting your sensitive hearing.
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.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly,
without
dis-
tortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE
TO
OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
• Do not
turn
up
the volume
so
high
that
you
can't
hear
what's
around you.
• Use caution
or
temporarily
discontinue
use
in potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many
areas.[!)
