WARNINGS
Be sure to read all warnings and instructions before using your
Triple.fi earphones.
To avoid damage to your hearing, we recommend that you do not
exceed 50% of the maximum volume on your audio playing device and
that you limit your use to one hour per day.
Always turn music volume down on your listening device before
inserting Triple.fi earphones into your ears. Once earphones are
inserted, gradually increase the volume to a moderate listening level.
Using earphones at high volumes (greater than 85 dB(A)) or for
extended periods of time (more than a one hour period per day) can
permanently damage your ears. Ringing in your ears or other
discomfort can indicate that the music volume is too high.
Hearing damage can be gradual and cumulative. There are
sometimes no obvious warning signs. A hearing test and medical
examination are the only way to accurately diagnose hearing damage.
However, the following symptoms are serious enough to warrant an
appointment with the ear doctor.
• Ringing or buzzing in the ears
• Difficulty in understanding speech.
• Muffling of sounds
LISTEN RESPONSIBLY!
Hearing health is critical to the enjoyment and to the quality of life.
Protect your hearing by listening to your music in a responsible manner
that protects your long term hearing health.
Please review and consider the following Occupational Safety Health
Administration (“OSHA”) guidelines regarding the maximum time
exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage may occur.
6
OSHA has established the following noise exposure limits:
YOU SHOULD NEVER BE EXPOSED TO SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS ABOVE 115 dB(A).
For more information visit the OSHA website at www.osha.gov.
The foregoing OSHA exposure levels should be considered maximum
limits. Compliance with the OSHA limits will not provide you with
protection from potential hearing loss. Accordingly, we recommend
never exceeding 50% of the permitted volume on your audio playing
device and limiting your use of headphones to durations of one hour or
less per day. Decibel levels of 85 dB(A) are dangerous to your hearing
and may cause hearing loss.
Do not use these earphones in any environment where a failure to
hear surrounding sounds could be dangerous. In no way should these
earphones be used while driving a car, biking, walking or operating
machinery.
Do not submerge or expose the earphones to water (see page 15 for
Earphone Care and Maintenance).
When using your earphones with an unfamiliar or unstable sound
system (airplane, public access ports, etc…) make sure volume is
low and is kept at a moderate level to prevent “break-in” bursts of
loud sounds. For these environments, we recommend use of the
sound level attenuator to aid in buffering unusually high sound
output
(see page 16 for Sound Level Attenuator)
.
Keep the Triple.fi earphones away from young children. This product
includes small parts and cables that may create a choking hazard.
