Safety
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use your 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 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
handset, please refer to the
features guide for your handset.
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.
