2.1 Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones, headphones or speakers are used at high volume. To prevent this, the
volume should be set to a safe level. You can become desensitized over time to high sound levels which may then
sound acceptable yet still could be damaging your hearing. If you experience symptoms such as ringing in your ears,
please lower the volume or stop using the earphones/headphones. The louder the volume, the less time is required be-
fore your hearing could be affected.
Hearing experts suggest the following measures to protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near you.
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.
2.2 Temperature
This device can be made to operate in two different modes, Portable and Mounted. When the device is in Mounted
mode it is allowed to run at a higher temperature; it sets the maximum allowable environmental temperature to its high-
est level. The risk with running the device in this mode is that it can reach temperatures in which prolonged use with di-
rect skin contact may cause permanent bodily harm. Portable mode sets the maximum device temperature shut down
limit to a lower temperature, reducing the risk for permanent bodily harm caused by prolonged exposure to the skin.
Only choose Mounted mode when the device is mounted on a wheelchair, table, etc, with a proper mounting system.
