6WARNING
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 blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
"co
mfort 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
in
crease the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly,
without distortion.
• 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.
