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 high-
volume listening can lead to per-
manent hearing loss.
•Set
VOLUME
to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After
you begin listening, adjust
VOL-
UME
to a comfortable level.
• Once you set
VOLUME
, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
