Notes on safe listening

Road safety

Do not use your “WALKMAN” while operating a motorized vehicle. Doing so may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Avoid using your “WALKMAN” during sporting competition to avoid injury.
Avoid listening to your “WALKMAN” in situations where hearing must not be impaired.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using your “WALKMAN” 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 your “WALKMAN.” Turn up the volume gradually to avoid excessive levels hurting your ears.

Consideration for others

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