This product canproduce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person,even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered forthose that may have already experienced some hearing loss.• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumesof sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds “normal” can actually be loud andharmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before yourhearing adapts and leave it there.To establish a safe volume level:• Set your volume control at a low setting.• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.Listen for reasonable periods of time:• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally “safe” levels, can also cause hearing loss.• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

6Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.• You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; itmay create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.Important (for models supplied with headphones):Philips guarantees compliance with the maximum sound power of its audio players asdetermined by relevant regulatory bodies only with the original model of providedheadphones. In case this one needs replacement, we recommend that you contact yourretailer to order a model identical to that of the original, provided by Philips.Copyright informationAll other brands and product names are trademarks of their respective companies ororganizations.Unauthorized duplication of any recordings whether downloaded from the Internet or madefrom audio CDs is a violation of copyright laws and international treaties.The making of unauthorized copies of copy-protected material, including computerprogrammes, files, broadcasts and sound recordings, may be an infringement of copyrightsand constitute a criminal offence.
