Cautions

Listening caution

EST. 1924

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 haz- ardous 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 vol- umes 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.

Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the headphones or any other parts that directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.

Care of dry cell batteries

To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and short-circuiting, heed the follow- ing points.

≥Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use if the covering has been peeled off.

≥Align the poles + and - correctly 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.

≥Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals as this may cause short- circuiting which is dangerous.

≥When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects such as neck- laces are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which can cause a fire.

When driving a car

In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit while driving.
