Some notes on using headphones

•To prevent damage to the cord, handle the head- phones only by the headset or the plug.

•Connecting headphones when the volume of con- nected equipment is turned up may result in damage to the headphones. Lower the volume on the AX-Synth before plugging in the headphones.

•Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing loss. Use the headphones at a moderate vol- ume level.
