Safety Issues with the Volume Controls

When you use Pandora on your iPhone you must ONLY use the software volume slider immediately below the Pandora controls.

The iPhone controls to change the volume will work, BUT there is a known issue with volume integration on the iPhone that call cause very loud sound levels to occur when you swap between the hardware and the software volume controls. You need to avoid doing this!

The recommended way is to remove your earphones before you adjust the software volume slider to a low level so that you can then put your headphones on again and slowly increase the volume to a level that is comfortable.
