Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones:
•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a vol- ume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
