IMPORTANT — A LIRE AVEC ATTENTION  
Ecouter de manière prolongée, à un très haut volume sonore de la musique (au dessus de 80  
decibels), aumoyen d'un casque ou d'écouteurs, peut entraîner une détérioration irreversible et  
définitive de vos facultés auditives. L’usage répété et habituel d’un casque ou d’écouteurs à un niveau  
de volume sonoretrop élevé peut donner l'impression à l'utilisateur que le volume sonore émis par  
l’appareil n'est pas suffisant. L’utilisateur sera tenté d’augmenter, petit à petit, son réglage habituel,  
risquant ainsi d'atteindre un niveau dangereux pour ses oreilles. Afin de protéger votre santé, et vos  
oreilles, veillez à maintenir le volume de la sortie casque de votre appareil à un niveau adapté et à  
interrompre son utilisation régulièrement et particulièrement si des symptômes, comme des troubles  
de l'ouïe, se manifestent.  
N'utilisez pas le casque ou les écouteurs pendant la conduite d'une voiture, d'une bicyclette ou de tout  
autre véhicule motorisé, afin d'éviter tout accident de le circulation. En outre, il est interdit dans  
certains pays d'utiliser un casque ou des écouteurs en conduisant. Il peut être également dangereux  
d'écouter à volume élevé tout en marchant, spécialement aux passages piétons. Soyez toujours  
extrêment prudent et cessez d'utiliser cet appareil dans les situations présentant des risques  
d'accident.  
Evitez d'utiliser le casque ou les écouteurs à volume élevé. Les médecins spécialistes de l'audition  
déconseillent une écoute continue à volume trop élevé. Si vous percevez un sifflement dans les  
oreilles, réduisez le volume ou cessez l'écoute.  
Maintenez un volume d'écoute modéré. Vous pourrez ainsi entendre les sons extérieurs et être attentif  
aux gens qui vous entourent.  
Votre produit Creative accompagné des écouteurs fournis, est conforme à la règlementation française
