Safety

Sound Levels

Your hearing is important to you and to us so please take care when operating this equipment. It is strongly recommended that you follow the guidelines in order to prevent possible damage to, or loss of hearing. Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous load sounds and will give the impression that the volume has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this, set the initial volume of the equipment to a low level.

Follow the steps below to ensure that the product can be enjoyed at a comfortable listening level:

1Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion.

2Damage to your hearing is accumulative and irreversible. Any "ringing" or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.

3Once you have established a comfortable listening level, do not increase the volume level.
