Using headphones or earphones
CAUTION:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones
can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to
maximum increases the earphone and headphone output
voltage and the sound pressure level. Therefore, to protect
your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.
Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time
at high volume can be dangerous if the output of the headphone or
earphone connectors do not comply with specifications of EN
50332-2. The headphone output connector of your computer
complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification limits the
computer’s maximum wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV.
To help protect against hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or
earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7 Limits)
or a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones
that do not comply with EN 50332-2 can be dangerous due to
excessive sound pressure levels.
If your Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones in the
package, as a set, the combination of the headphones or earphones
and the computer already complies with the specifications of EN
50332-1. If different headphones or earphones are used, ensure that
they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5 Limitation Values). Using
headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous
due to excessive sound pressure levels.
