Danger

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headset.

• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.

• Be careful not to adjust the volume continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

• You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headset can cause hearing loss.

• Using the headset with both ears covered while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some areas while driving.

• For your safety, avoid distractions from music or phone calls while in traffic or other potentially dangerous environments.
