rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Use of batteries
- Align the poles (+ and -“) properly when inserting the batteries.
- Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
- Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
- Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to contact
flame or water.
- If the unit is not going to be used for a long time or if the unit is to be
powered exclusively by AC power, remove the batteries and store
them in a cool, dark place.
- Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.
- Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
- Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can damage other items, cause damage to the
unit, and may cause a fire through short-circuiting or electrolyte leakage.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any part
of your body.
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is
only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.
This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and
clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
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.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or
loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
