Using headphones or earphones
CAUTION:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones

can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to

maximum increases the earphone and headphone output

voltage and the sound pressure level. Therefore, to protect

your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.

Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time

at high volume can be dangerous if the output of the headphone or

earphone connectors do not comply with specifications of EN

50332-2. The headphone output connector of your computer

complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification limits the

computer’s maximum wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV.

To help protect against hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or

earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7 Limits)

or a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones

that do not comply with EN 50332-2 can be dangerous due to

excessive sound pressure levels.
If your Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones in the

package, as a set, the combination of the headphones or earphones

and the computer already complies with the specifications of EN

50332-1. If different headphones or earphones are used, ensure that

they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5 Limitation Values). Using

headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous

due to excessive sound pressure levels.
