Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidel ines when
you use the earbuds.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you
begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a com fo r t ab le level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.
Extended high-volume listening can lead to per-
manent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it.
Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level,
so a volume level that does not cause discomfo rt
might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear the earbuds while operating a motor ve-
hicle or riding a bicycle. This can cause a traffic haz-
ard and can be illegal in some areas.
