After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. • Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. • Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing. Traffic Safety Do not wear an earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and can be illegal in some areas. Even though some earphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard. ˆ Operation LOADING A CASSETTE TAPE 1.
