10. When you use the phone in public places, set the ringtone to vibration so you don't disturb others.
11. Do not turn your phone on or off while the device is in close proximity to your ear.
12. Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away
safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Caution:
Avoid potential hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss.
Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and
cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise induced hearing
loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the
ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss
and other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You should follow
some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:
1. Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
2. When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the
person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
3. Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device
in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.
4. Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing
could be affected.
5. Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause
temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
6. Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear
muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device,
discontinue use and consult your doctor.
