On Liquid Crystal Display
• Although manufactured with high
precision technology, the LCD may
occasionally display dots of various
colors. That is not a malfunction.
• Do not place or drop any object onto the
LCD surface. Also, do not apply pressure
from hands or elbows.
• Do not damage the LCD surface with a
sharp edged tool.
On rechargeable battery
• Because of the battery’s limited life, its
capacity gradually deteriorates over time
and repeated use. Exchange an old one
with a new one when the battery holds
about only half the normal period.
• To prevent battery deterioration, charge
the battery at least once every half a year
or every year.
• Certain countries may regulate disposal
of the battery used to power this product.
Please consult with your local authority.

On adjusting volume

experts advice against continuous, loud,
and extended play. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce the volume

the volume at a moderate level. This will
allow you to hear outside sounds and still
be considerate to the people around you.

cloth lightly. To prevent dirt buildup,
wipe it frequently. Do not wipe the LCD
surface with a wet cloth. If water enters,
