Precautions

General

•Never use your player where it will be subjected to extremes of light, temperature, moisture or vibration.

•Never wrap your player in anything when it is being used with the AC power adaptor. Heat build-up in the player may cause malfunction or damage.

•Do not pull the cords of the remote control and the headphones forcibly.

•Do not put a hard object together with the player into the carrying pouch. Doing so will damage the finish of the player.

On heat build-up

Heat may build up in the player while charging the built-in rechargeable battery or if the player is used for an extended period of time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

On mechanical noise

The player gives off mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power- saving system of the player and it is not a problem.

On remote control

The remote control supplied with the player is dedicated to the player only. You cannot operate the player with a remote control supplied with another player.

On USB cable

Be sure to use the USB cable supplied with the player. Other USB cables may have connectors in different shapes and cannot be inserted to the player, or may cause a malfunction. When the supplied USB cable is damaged or lost, consult your nearest Aiwa dealer.

Notes on built-in hard disk

The built-in hard disk is formatted using the FAT32 file system.

If you format the built-in hard disk using the file system other than FAT32, the firmware can be recovered but the player does not operate normally. It is not recommended to use the quick format method.

For details, refer to the separate manual “Music Transfer Hard Disk Player Edition.”

HeadphonesRoad Safety

Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your player at a high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using the headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

Consideration for others

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

Warning

If there is lightning when you are using your player, take off the headphones immediately.

In case of failure of this player, consult your Aiwa dealer without opening the casing.
