Safety  
Hearing safety  
Listen at a moderate volume.  
Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing.This  
product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing  
loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute.The  
higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already  
experienced some hearing loss.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts  
to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds  
‘normal’ can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.To guard  
against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts  
and leave it there.  
To establish a safe volume level:  
Set your volume control at a low setting.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly,  
without distortion.  
Listen for reasonable periods of time:  
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also  
cause hearing loss.  
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.  
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.  
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around  
you.  
You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially  
hazardous situations. Do not use headphones while operating a

8 About DAB  
About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)  
DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio via a network of  
terrestrial transmitters. It provides listeners with more choice and information  
delivered in crystal clear, crackle-free sound quality.  
The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it  
FDQꢀÀQGꢂ  
– With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember, and sets  
are tuned by station name, so there’s no returning on the move.  
What is a multiplex?  
Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called a  
multiplex. Each multiplex works within a frequency spectrum, such as Band III  
for DAB broadcasts.  
DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS  
Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and audio  
data services. Some programmes are supported by Dynamic Label Segments  
(DLS).This is data which you can read as scrolling text on your DAB radio  
display. Some stations transmit the latest news, travel, and weather, what’s on  
now and next, website addresses and phone numbers.
