�Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of heat. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with the doors and windows closed. �To avoid product damage, do not expose this product to rain, water or other liquids. �Do not keep this unit and magnetized cards (bank cards, commuter passes, etc.) close together. �The speaker does not have magnetic shielding. Do not place it near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism.
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 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, don�t turn up the volume so high that you can�t hear what�s around you. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing �comfort level� adapts to higher volumes of sound. 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.
