For users in Canada
Listening for a Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical
enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This
manufacturer, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® and the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASHA) want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level; a level that lets
the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without damaging
your sensitive hearing.
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:
・Set your volume control to the lowest level where you can hear the music comfortably and clearly. Prolonged
exposure to anything over 85 decibels can cause gradual hearing loss.
・Once you have established a sound level where you can hear the audio comfortably, clearly and without
distortion, set the dial and leave it there.
・See if your music player has a volume limiter that allows you to set a safe listening level by establishing a
maximum volume level on your player. This is a great solution for parents to ensure their children listen at a
safe level.
・Limit listening time to give your hearing “quiet breaks.”
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WHEN WEARING YOUR HEADPHONES OR
EARBUDS:
・Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear sounds around you.
・Do not use headphones or earbuds while operating a motorized vehicle; it may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in many areas.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide years of fun and enjoyment.
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer, CEA and ASHA
recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. The following list of sound levels is included
for your information so that you can better protect your hearing.
DECIBEL LEVEL EXAMPLES:
30 Whisper
40 Quiet room
50 Moderate rainfall
60 Normal conversation
70 Busy traffic, vacuum cleaner
80 Alarm clock
CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO THESE NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS:
90 Lawn mower, motorcycle
100 Chain saw
110 Rock concert
120 Jet plane takeoff
130 Jackhammer
140 Firecrackers

The following IC statement applies only to the version of this model manufactured for sale in Canada.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low
power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. These models have been tested and found to comply
with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

The following IC statement applies only to the version of this model manufactured for sale in Canada.
This device complies with Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
