Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a 
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through 
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most 
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. 
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing 
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so 
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and 
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting 
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing 
adapts.

•  Set your volume control at a low setting. 

•  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it 

comfortably and clearly, without distortion. 

•  Once you have established a comfortable sound 

level, set the dial and leave it there.

•  Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t 

hear what’s around you.

•  Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in 

potentially hazardous situations.

•  Do not use headphones while operating a motorized 

vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic 
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
