Health and Safety Information 35
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings.
If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise. By blocking background
environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should
allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than when
using earbuds.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume
increases, less time is required before you hearing could be
affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary
hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If
you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech,
or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after
listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and
consult your doctor.
