Improper use of this system may cause the user to make mistakes or decisions that may lead to 
serious injury or death.

Always make sure to have the audio player volume turned to zero and the headphones turned 
away from the ears when turning on the audio player. If the volume level is not zero when the 
audio player is turned on, it may cause ear injury due to a sudden burst of volume. The volume 
should be slowly increased with an audio track playing to set the speaker volume to comfortable 
output levels prior to positioning the headphones next to the ears. Hearing experts advise 
against continuously loud and extended play. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce 
volume or discontinue use.

It can be potentially dangerous to use headphones while engaging in activities that require your 
full attention. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous 
situations. Do not use the headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. 
It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Those users that elect to utilize this 
system at, or near, the water’s surface, must maintain safety awareness of moving water crafts.
