Protect
Your
Ears
and Yourself
• Always
follow
traffic safety directions. Do
not
use
earbuds or headphones -
while operating a bicycle, automobile,
or
motorcycle. Not only
is
it
dangerous,
it
may be illegal.
• Make sure the earbud
or
headphone cable does
not
get
in the way
of
your arms
or other surrounding objects while you're walking
or
exercising.
• Maintain a moderate volume when walking
or
exercising. Always be aware
of
what
is
happening around you.
• Using earbuds or headphones for a long
time
and/or at high volume
can
cause
serious damage
to
your hearing. Ifyou hear ringing in your
ears,
STOP
listening
immediately.
Sound
can
be
deceiving. Over time, your hearing "comfort level" adapts
to
higher and higher
volumes; what sounds "normal" may be dangerously loud.
TO
ESTABLISH
A
SAFE
LEVEL:
Start the volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the
volume until you
can
hear comfortably,
without
distortion, and still be aware
of
your surroundings.
ONCE
YOU
ESTABLISH
A
COMFORTABLE
SOUND
LEVEL:
Leave the volume at that level; do
not
increase
it
over time.
Pioneer and the Consumer Electronics Association recommend that you avoid prolonged
exposure
to
excessive noise. Sustained sound levels above
85
decibels
can
be dangerous
