control. The Headphone Tap uses the speaker line signal for
power, therefore requires no batteries or external power.

It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at
the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume setting on this
Personal Monitor unit, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound
from floor wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by the fit of
quality earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the
ear.
Follow these guidelines in the use of this product to protect your ears from
damage:
1. Turn up the volume only to the point where hearing is comfortable.
2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the levels are too high. Lower the
volume level.
3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you ex-
perience wax buildup in your ears, stop using the system until an audiolo-
gist has examined your ears.
4. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid
infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or
infection.
