Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ≥Set the dial and leave it there.
Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the head- phones. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.
≥If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharging, the batteries have reached the end of their service life. Replace them with the recommended replacements.
≥Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging batteries for the first time or after they have been unused for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to normal.
