4 | PageListening Precautions x This product respects the current regulations for limiting the output volume of consumer audio devices to a safe level. By listening to your device with headphones or ear buds at high volumes, you run the risk of permanent damage to your ears. Even if you get used to listening at high volumes and it seems normal to you, you still risk the possibility of dam-aging your hearing. Reduce the volume of your device to a reasonable level to avoid permanent hearing damage. If you hear ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or shut off your device. Other types of headphones may produce higher volume levels. (At full power, the prolonged listening of the Walkman can damage the ear of the use炸x Maximum output voltage<=150mv x Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle.

Guard against this by setting the volume of your device at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. x Start your volume control at a low setting. x Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level, leave it there.
