Using headsets safely Use of headsets to listen to
music while operating a vehicle is not recommended
and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive
while driving. Stop using this device if you find it
disruptive or distracting while operating any type of
vehicle or performing any other activity that requires
your full attention.
Avoiding hearing damage Permanent hearing loss
may occur if you use your phone and/or headset at a
high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may
sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If
you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech,
stop listening and have your hearing checked. The
louder the volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts
suggest that to protect your hearing:
●
Limit the amount of time you use your phone
and/or headset at high volume.
●
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
●
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people
speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume
limit on your phone, see the features guide for your
phone.
