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 blar-
ing
or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
"comfort 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 increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly,
without dis-
tortion.
• 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.[!)
