USER MANUAL Mixr MONSTER

English Important Safety Information 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/on 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.

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 an FM transmitter to listen to your mobile media devices instead.
