∫Batteries

≥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 sub- ject to excessive heat.

≥Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

≥Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire. If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, con- sult your dealer. Wash thoroughly with water if elec- trolyte comes in contact with any part of your body.

≥Keep out of the reach of small children. Accidental swallow- ing of batteries can result in stomach and intestinal damage.

∫Allergies

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

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 discontin- ue 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 comfort- ably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

≥Leave it there.
