WARNING Usage of other than specified head- or earphones can result in hearing loss due to excessive sound pressures. Please confirm the distribution system in building installation shall provide the circuit breaker rated 120/240V, 20A (maximum). If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet.

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphones and headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level.
