This unit is splash-proof and is not designed
to be used under water.
Please note the following points to avoid
possible damage to the unit and the included
headphones.
• Do not drop them into water and dash
much water.
•Since water in the headphones jack,
OUT Jack and DC iN jack may cause
damage, cover it properly with attached
rubber cap when these jacks are not in
use.
•To prevent water from entering the unit
duai iocks should be locked to close the
disc lid.

water or sweat, dry them with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the disc lid near water or sand.
Before opening or closing the disc lid, be
sure to wipe off water, dust or sand on the
unit and operate with a dry hand.
• Make sure of no sand and dust around the
disc lid. If there is sand or dust, the disc lid
will not close properly and water will get
into, which may cause a trouble.
• Do not expose the unit or the headphones
to salt water. If the unit and headphones
are immersed in salt water, wash them in a
little fresh water then dry with soft cloth.
Never wash them under running water.

This can cause malfunctioning.
No dropping or strong impacts
This may damage the unit.
Locations to be avoided
Avoid using the unit in the following locations
since they can cause malfunctioning.
1. Bathrooms and other moisture-prone
places
2. Warehouses and other dusty places
3. Very hot places near heating appliances,
etc.
Do not leave the unit exposed to direct
sunlight for long periods of time
This may deform or discolor the cabinet and
may also cause malfunctioning.
• Only the RP-BP60/SH-CDB8D batteries
can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts
for a very short time after recharging, it
means that the batteries' service life is
over. Do not use them any more, please
replace the batteries.
• Recharging already charged batteries will
shorten their service life.
•When recharging batteries for the first time
or when they have not been used for a long
period of time, the play time may be shorter
than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly
recharge and discharge the batteries. This
will restore them to their regular charged
state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the
terminals of rechargeable batteries since
this may cause short-circuiting which is
dangerous.
• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the
rechargeable batteries. Short-circuiting
may occur, which is dangerous.
