Listening caution

Inserting the batteries
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: Start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Leave it there. Before use 1 Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow. 2 Open the cover. 3 Insert the batteries and close the cover.

For your reference Use alkaline batteries. Manganese batteries cannot be used. Do not press any of the buttons while inserting the batteries. Ensure the battery cover is completely closed to avoid malfunction. The display goes out if the cover is open. If rechargeable batteries are to be used, rechargeable batteries manufactured by Panasonic are recommended.
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, dont turn up the volume so high that you cant hear whats around you. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound.
