PRECAUTIONS

■Important

●Do not wear your earphones when you are crossing streets or near traffic.

●Do not use your earphones whilst driving a motor vehicle, it may create a dangerous traffic hazard and may be illegal.

Remember to obey all of the safety rules in your area.

●Do not play the unit at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against extended listening at high volume levels.

●If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

■Volume setting

Reduce the volume before starting to play. MiniDiscs, compared to ordinary cassette tapes, have very little noise.

If the volume is adjusted according to your usual expectations of noise, you may damage your hearing due to the high volume.

■Storing the unit

●Places (bathrooms) where the humidity is extremely high.

●Places with strong magnetic fields such as TVs or loudspeakers.

If you are using the unit in particularly crowded places (such as on trains or buses), reduce the volume to avoid annoying people around you.
