Extended, high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. • Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.• After you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume, so a level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.• Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.• Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.www.radioshack.comFCC InformationThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
