especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or

discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

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.

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.

Warning
