Realistic PRO-50 - Listening Safely; Traffic Safety

Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you
use an earphone or headphones.
• Do not listen at extremely high-volume levels. Extended
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss.
• Set the volume to its lowest level before you begin listen¬
ing. After you put on the earphone, adjust the volume to a
comfortable listening level.
• Do not increase the volume once you establish a com¬
fortable listening level. Over time, your ears adapt to the
volume level, so a volume level that does not cause dis¬
comfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone or headphones while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones or headphones are designed
to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at nor¬
mal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.
