Performance and Safety Tips Listen Responsibly To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level. Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss. Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below. This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.2 ENGLISH

Physiology of the Ear and Hearing For additional information on what loud noises do to your ear and chart reference http://www.abelard.org/hear/hear.php#loud-music4 ENGLISH Use Responsibly Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required. It ‘s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens. Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead. Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.Talk and Control The ControlTalk Universal on-cable remote features a single control button and built-in mic, allowing you to take calls and talk hands-free.
