CAUTION
TAPE
•Avoid using or placing this unit near
sources of heat. Do not leave it in an
automobile exposed to direct sun¬
light for a long period of time with
doors and windows closed.
•To avoid product damage, do not ex¬
pose this product to rain, water or
other liquids.
Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or ear¬
phones at a high volume. Hearing ex¬
perts advise against continuous
extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motor¬
ized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or
temporarily discontinue use in poten¬
tially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or ear¬
phones is an open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don’t
turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time
your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
higher volumes ot 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.
To establish a safe level:
•Start your volume control at a low
setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you
can hear it comfortably and clearly,
and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfort¬
able sound level:
•Set the dial and leave it there.
Get into a habit of cleaning the head
assembly after every 10 hours or so
with a cotton swab dampened with a
little alcohol.
