CAUTIONS

Listening precautions
• Do not play your earphones at a high volume.
• Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
• Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Even if your earphones are an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, do not turn up the

volume so high that you cannot hear what is around you.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what
sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.

Dry cell batteries
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.
• Align the

and

polarities properly when inserting the batteries.

• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the player for a long period of time.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Carrying dry cell batteries around
When putting dry cell batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are
placed together with them. Contact with any metal may cause short-circuiting which may cause a fire.

Player
• No altering or remodeling
This can cause malfunctioning.
