Caution: To protect your hearing,
follow these guidelines when you use
headphones:
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening . After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
Note: The amplifier mutes the speakers
when you connect headphones. If you
want to listen through the speakers
again, unplug the headphones.
