• Set the volume in a quiet
environment and select the
lowest volume at which you can
hear adequately.
• When using headphones, turn
the volume down if you cannot
hear the people speaking near
you or if the person sitting next
to you can hear what you are
listening to.
• Do not turn the volume up to
block out noisy surroundings.
If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-
cancelling headphones to block
out background environmental
noise.
• Limit the amount of time you
listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after
exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as concerts, that
might cause temporary hearing
loss. Temporary hearing loss
might cause unsafe volumes to
sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume
that causes you discomfort.
If you experience ringing in
your ears, hear muffled speech
or experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening
to your portable audio device,
discontinue use and consult
your doctor.
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA
Safety Information for wireless
handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable
phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When ON,
it receives and sends out Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set
by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* American National Standards
Institute; National Council
