On certain batteries this symbol might be used in combination with a chemical symbol. The chemical symbols for mercury (Hg) or lead (Pb) are added if the battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004% lead. By ensuring these products and batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and human health which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling. The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources.In case of products that for safety, performance or data integrity reasons require a permanent connection with an incorporated battery, this battery should be replaced by qualified service staff only. To ensure that the battery and the electrical and electronic equipment will be treated properly, hand over these products at end-of-life to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. For all other batteries, please view the section on how to remove the battery from the product safely. Hand the battery over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of waste batteries.

Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) want you to 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 damaging 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.
TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:• Set your volume control to the lowest level where you can hear the music comfortably and clearly. Prolonged exposure to anything over 85 decibels can cause gradual hearing loss.• Once you have established a sound level where you can hear the audio comfortably, clearly and without distortion, set the dial and leave it there.• See if your music player has a volume limiter that allows you to set a safe listening level by establishing a maximum volume level on your player. This is a great solution for parents to ensure their children listen at a safe level.• Limit listening time to give your hearing “quiet breaks.”BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WHEN WEARING YOUR HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS:• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear sounds around you.• Do not use headphones or earbuds while operating a motorized vehicle; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide years of fun and enjoyment.Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer, CEA and ASHA recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. The following list of sound levels is included for your information so that you can better protect your hearing.DECIBEL LEVEL EXAMPLES:30 Whisper40 Quiet room50 Moderate rainfall60 Normal conversation70 Busy traffic, vacuum cleaner80 Alarm clockCONSTANT EXPOSURE TO THESE NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS:90 Lawn mower, motorcycle100 Chain saw110 Rock concert120 Jet plane takeoff130 Jackhammer140 FirecrackersThis information courtesy of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the national professional, scientific and credentialing association for more than 135,000 audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and speech, language and hearing scientists.
For information on protection against noise-induced hearing loss, call the ASHA Action Center (800-638-8255), Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. To find an audiologist in your area, visit www.asha.org/findpro. Parents can find helpful information about how to protect their children’s hearing and how to teach them about safe listening at www.listentoyourbuds.org, an ASHA award-winning public education campaign sponsored in part by CEA.A safety tip from the Consumer Electronics Association, 1919 South Eads Street, Arlington, VA 22202 and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2200 Research Boulevard, Rockville, MD 20850.The following IC statement applies only to the version of this model manufactured for sale in Canada.The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. These models have been tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.The following IC statement applies only to the version of this model manufactured for sale in Canada.This device complies with Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause interference; and(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.Refer to the information in the other supplied manuals such as the printed manuals and the “Help Guide.”
