This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a nor mal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel r anges are offered f or those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. • Sound can be deceiving.

T o guard against this, set your volume to a safe lev el before your hearing adapts and leave it there. To establish a safe volume lev el: • Set your volume control at a lo w setting. • Slowly increase the sound until y ou can hear it comfor tably and clearly , without distor tion. Listen for reasonable periods of time: • Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hear ing loss. • Be sure to use your equipment reasonabl y and take appropriate breaks. Be sure to observe the follo wing guidelines when using your headphones. • Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonab le per iods of time. • Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts. • Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you. •Y ou should use caution or temporar ily discontin ue use in potentially hazardous situations. • Do not use headphones while operating a motor iz ed vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. ifu_az1816_apac_eng 2006.8.22 5:44 PM Page 3
