Sound can be deceiving.Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts tohigher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal”can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.Guard against this by setting your equipment at asafe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:y Set your volume control at a low setting.y Slowly increase the sound until you can hear itcomfortably and clearly, without distortion.y Once you have established a comfortable soundlevel, set the dial and leave it there.BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWINGGUIDELINES.y Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’thear what’s around you.y Use caution or temporarily discontinue use inpotentially hazardous situations.y Do not use headphones while operating amotorized vehicle; the use of headphones maycreate a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
