Safety Information

English

Please read this owner’s and product guide

Reading this guide will ensure proper and safe use of your Soul® headphones. Follow all operation guidelines and adhere to all safety warnings and

cautions.

Warning

Use your headphones responsibly. Exposure to excessively loud noise can cause Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). “The loudness of sound is measured

in units called decibels. For example, the humming of a refrigerator is 40 decibels, normal conversation is approximately 60 decibels, and city trac noise

can be 85 decibels. Sources of noise that can cause NIHL include motorcycles, recrackers, and small rearms, all emitting sounds from 120 to 150 decibels.

Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss. The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before NIHL can

occur. Sounds of less than 75 decibels, even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause hearing loss.”

Before plugging your Soul® headphones into your phone or multimedia device, make sure that the volume has been set to zero (0) and the power is o.

Once you have turned on the device, increase the volume to a safe and comfortable level. Putting on your headphones and turning on at full volume may

cause damage to your hearing.

Keep headphones out of reach of small children. These headphones are not a toy and could be harmful to small children.

Below is a chart to help you better understand the causes and eects of dierent sound levels. The noise levels are rated in dB (decibels)

Environmental Noise Noise Level dB Possible Eects of Exposure

Quiet Library 30 dB No Eect - Normal

Normal Conversation 60 dB Comfortable Hearing

City Trac (inside car) 85 dB

Maximum Level before hearing damage begins. OSHA recommends no more than 8 hours of

exposure to sound levels of 90 dB daily.

Power Saw at 3’ 110 dB

Permanent Hearing Loss likely due to prolonged unprotected exposure.

Jet Engine at 100’ 120 to 140 dB

At 125 dB the human ear begins to experi

ence

pain that can lead to permanent hearing loss even

during short unprotected periods.

Caution

DO NOT operate any motor vehicle or heavy machinery while listening to or wearing your headphones. Doing so is not only dangerous to you or others

but illegal in many states. Listening or wearing headphones reduces your ability to hear sounds around you such as emergency vehicle sirens or the horn

from another motorist.

It is not recommended to use headphones when cycling, running or walking in heavy trac areas, where your full attention is necessary for your

safety.

Always use your headphones responsibly in every situation.
