Listening Safety
Do not wear headphones, earphones, or earbuds while operating a 
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and 
could be illegal in some areas. To protect your hearing, follow these 
guidelines:
•  Do not listen at high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
•  Set the volume to the lowest setting. Then turn on your iSCAN
and adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•  Avoid increasing the volume. Your ears will adapt to the volume
level, so a level that does not cause discomfort could still damage 
your hearing.
