Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.
•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. Then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•Don’t listen at extremely high vol- ume levels.
•Once you set the volume, don’t increase it.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone while operating a motor vehi- cle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones let you hear outside sounds when listening at normal vol- ume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
