Know these safety symbols
Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
• Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing.This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute.The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
This ‘bolt of lightning’ indicates uninsulated
material within your unit may cause an electrical
shock. For the safety of everyone in your
household, please do not remove product
covering.
The ‘exclamation point’ calls attention to
features for which you should read the enclosed
literature closely to prevent operating and
maintenance problems.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing.To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to
rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, should not be placed on this
apparatus.
CAUTION:To prevent electric shock, match
wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.

protected material, including computer
programs, files, broadcasts and sound
recordings, may be an infringement of
copyrights and constitute a criminal offence.
This equipment should not be used for such
purposes.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing
loss.
• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.

• Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
