A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8- BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.

Product Identification Marking is located on the bottom of AC adaptor and Wireless LAN Adaptor.

AC adaptor

This AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V and 240 V.

But

In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC adaptor must be connected to a 120 V AC power supply only.

When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, use a plug adaptor to suit the AC outlet configuration.

When connecting to a supply of greater than AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited to the voltage of the AC supply and the rated current of the AC adaptor.

Contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance in selecting a suitable AC plug adaptor or AC cord set.

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, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s 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.
