1.2. Important Hearing Safety Information 
 
PLEASE READ THESE HEARING SAFETY GUIDELINES BEFORE USING 
YOUR SANSA PLAYER!
 
Congratulations on the purchase of your Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player! 
 
Your MP3 player is equipped with a variety of features.  To help you maximize your 
listening pleasure, SanDisk would like to advise you that it is important to use 
your headphones with your MP3 player at a safe hearing level. 
 
•  Exposure or repeated exposure for an extended period of time to music and other 
sounds that are too loud can cause damage to your hearing resulting in temporary or 
even permanent “noise induced hearing loss”. [According to the European 
Commission / Studies show that] safe use depends on exposure time and volume 
levels. At 80 dB(A), exposure should be limited to 40 hours/week. At 89 dB(A) 
exposure should not exceed 5 hours/week.  
•  The default setting of the maximum volume of your MP3 player is set at 80 dB(A), 
based on use of the original headphones that come with this product. If the original 
set of headphones is replaced with another type, this may cause higher unsafe sound 
levels. 
•  For certain uses of this MP3 player, such as with certain replacement headphones 
and for use in relation with other devices, it is possible to override the standard 
device setting of 80 db(A). SanDisk strongly advises you to always make sure that 
the actual volume is at a safe level.  
•  Symptoms of hearing loss increase gradually with prolonged exposure at high levels 
of loudness. 
•  Initially, you may not even be aware of the loss unless detected with a hearing test. 
•  Your hearing may adapt to higher volumes of sound. In order to prevent any harmful 
impact to your hearing, you must control the sound from your headphones and set 
the Sansa MP3 player’s volume to a low setting where you can hear it clearly and 
comfortably. 
•  Listen to your Sansa MP3 player at such a level that you can still hear conversation 
and other people in your environment without shouting when you attempt to 
converse. 
•  It can also be dangerous to play your music with headphones/earphones at high 
volume while walking or engaged in other activities. You should exercise extreme 
caution and discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. 
•  Do not use headphones or earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any 
motorized vehicle. This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal some areas.
