Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. Then
adjust the volume to a comfortable
level.
• Don’t listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels.
• Once you set the volume, don’t
increase it.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone
while operating a motor vehi-
cle or riding a bicycle. This can
create a traffic hazard and
could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones
let you hear outside sounds
when listening at normal vol-
ume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.
