## Notes on the headphones

#### Road safety

Avoid listening with your headphones in situations where hearing must not be impaired.

#### Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using the headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Do not turn the volume up high all at once, especially when using headphones. Turn up the volume gradually to avoid excessive levels hurting your ears.

#### Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
