or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit.
Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety
instructions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for
future reference.
Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the earphones or any
other parts that directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause
rashes or other allergic reactions.
∫Batteries
≥Do not peel off the covering on the batteries and do not use if the
covering has been peeled off.
≥Align the poles iand jcorrectly 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 a fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to
excessive heat.
≥Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
≥When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects
such as necklaces are placed together with them. Contact with metal
may cause short-circuiting which can cause a fire.
∫CDs
≥Do not use irregularly shaped CDs.
≥Do not use non-specification discs.
≥Do not use CDs printed with label printers available on the market.
≥Do not use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or with
adhesive exuding from under labels and stickers.
∫Listening
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.
