Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use
your phone and/or headset at a high volume.
Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt
over time to a higher volume of sound that may
sound normal but can be damaging to your
hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears
or muffled speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume, the
less time is required before your hearing could
be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to
protect your hearing:
]
Limit the amount of time you use your phone
and/or headset at high volume.
]
Avoid turning up the volume to block out
noisy surroundings.
]
Turn the volume down if you can't hear
people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum
volume limit on your phone, see the features
guide for your phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating a vehicle is
not recommended and is illegal in some areas.
Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop
using your phone if you find it disruptive or
distracting while operating any type of vehicle
or performing any other activity that requires
your full attention.
