1. Safety instructions
Warning: When connecting the in-ear headset, make sure that
you have turned the volume down to the minimum.
Adjust the volume only after the in-ear headset are in
place. To avoid any potential damage to your hearing,
do not use the in-ear headset at loud volumes for
extended periods of time. As a rule of thumb, when you
have the in-ear headset on, set the volume to a level at
which you can still hear your own voice when you speak
at a normal volume while listening.
We would like to point out that listening at high
volumes over a long period of time may damage your
hearing irreversibly.
Make sure that the set volume is not too high.
Rule of thumb: The higher the volume, the shorter the
time of listening. According to employer’s regulations
for safety and health the noise exposure should not
exceed 85 dB (low volume) when working with an
allowed time of listening of 8 hours at maximum. If the
volume is increased by 3 dB, the allowed time of
listening is halved, i.e. with 88 dB the time of listening
is 4 hours, with 91 dB 2 hours and so on.
Danger!
In-ear headsets dramatically reduce your ability to hear ambient
noise. Using the in-ear headsets while in road traffic is potentially
very dangerous and is therefore prohibited by law. Also, please make
sure that you do not use your in-ear headset when in the vicinity of
possibly dangerous machines and tools.
Risk of injury!
When wearing wired in-ear headphones, avoid any sudden move-
ments. You could seriously injure yourself, especially if you have any
piercings or wear earrings or glasses, etc. that can get caught in the
wire.
Altered auditory perception
Many people need some time to get used to wearing in-ear headsets.
Your auditory perception of your own voice and body, and even the
sounds in your inner ear while walking, are different from “normal”
situations when you are not wearing an in-ear headset. This strange
sensation will usually abate after wearing in-ear headsets for a while.
