These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
would void the user’s authority to operate this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause 
undesired operation.Remove the head spacer.

							Do not play your headphones or ear-
phones at a high volume. Hearing 
experts advise against continuous ex-
tended play.
If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motor-
ized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or
temporarily discontinue use in poten-
tially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or ear-
phones are the open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don’t
turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.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.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low
setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you
can hear it comfortably and clearly,
and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfort-
able sound level:
≥Set the dial and leave it there.
