IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2
-ˆ«Batteries-‰¥Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use if the covering
has been peeled off.
-‰¥Align the poles iand jcorrectly when inserting the batteries.
-‰¥Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries.
-‰¥Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.
-‰¥Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive
heat.
-‰¥Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
-‰¥When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects
such as necklaces are placed together with them. Contact with metal
may cause short-circuiting which can cause a fire.
Caution
-ˆ«Listening
Do not play your headphones or 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 a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to
let you hear outside sounds, dont turn up the volume so high that you
cant hear whats 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:
-‰¥Leave it there.
EST. 1924
-ˆ«CDs-‰¥Do not use irregularly shaped CDs.
-‰¥Do not use non-specification discs.
-‰¥Do not use CDs printed with label printers available on the market.
-‰¥Do not use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or with
adhesive exuding from under labels and stickers.
