Please be sure to read all warnings and
instructions before using your M-Audio IE
earphones.
 To avoid damage to your hearing, we
recommend that you do not exceed 50% of the
maximum volume on your audio device and that
you limit your use to one hour or less per day.
 Always turn the volume down on your
listening device before inserting your M-Audio
IE earphones into your ears. Once your IE
earphones are inserted, gradually increase the
volume to a moderate listening level.
 Using earphones at high volumes (greater
than 85dB) or for extended periods of time (more
than one hour per day) can permanently damage
your hearing. Ringing in your ears or other
discomfort can indicate that the music volume is
too high.
 Hearing damage can be gradual and
cumulative. In many cases there are no obvious
warning signs. A hearing test and medical
examination are the only way to accurately
diagnose hearing damage. However, we
strongly recommend you make an appointment
with your ear doctor if you notice any of the
following symptoms:
< Ringing or buzzing in the ears
< Difficulty in understanding speech
< Muffling of sounds
