EN 1 Important Safety Hearing safety Listen at a moderate volume. • Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. • Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher volumes of sound.
To establish a safe volume level: • Set your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. Listen for reasonable periods of time: Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing loss. • Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks. • Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. • Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
