Drive + Play Warnings

Distraction Warning

Do not connect or disconnect your iPod or program Drive + Play while driving. Always be careful and attentive to your vehicle and the traffic around you. Always obey all traffic laws while driving. Always pull off the road and park in a position you are sure presents absolutely no risk before browsing your iPod or adjusting the settings on your Drive + Play.

Connecting the iPod

Always hold the Drive + Play’s iPod dock connector by its sides and gently insert (or remove) the dock connector. Never use excessive force to insert or remove the connector, or damage to your iPod may occur.

Lost Data

Harman/Kardon is not responsible for any lost data on your iPod when using the Drive + Play. Be sure to back up the audio data files on your computer.

Loud Music and Hearing

Playing loud music in a vehicle can permanently damage your hearing, as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic. The max- imum volume levels achievable with this product, combined with high power amplification, may exceed safe levels for extended listening. We recommend using low volume levels when driving. Harman/Kardon accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury, or property damage as a result of use or misuse of this product.

Headphones and Driving

Do not use headphones while operating a vehicle. This practice is illegal in some areas. Always be careful and attentive to your vehicle and the traffic around you. Always obey all traffic laws while driving. Drive + Play’s audio output is not suitable for driving headphones and is intended to output a signal appro- priate for an audio system’s line-level input jack.
