Precautions

On power sources

•Use LR6 (size AA) battery.

•If you are not going to use this player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply.

On heat build-up

Heat may build up in the player if it is used for an extended period of time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

On installation

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

On the headphones/earphonesRoad safety

Do not use headphones/earphones 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 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 headphones/earphones at 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.

Caring for others

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

On the MiniDisc cartridge

•When carrying or storing the MiniDisc, keep it in its case.

•Do not break open the shutter.

•Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust.

•Attach the supplied disc label only in the space designated for it on the disc. Do not stick it on any other disc surface.

On cleaning

•Clean the player casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the finish of the casing.

•Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt.

•Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting a disc.

•To obtain the best sound quality, use a dry cloth to wipe the plugs of the headphones/ earphones. Dirty plugs may cause sound distortion or intermittent breaks in the sound.

On battery

Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting battery. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions:

•Install the + and – poles of the battery correctly.

•When the player is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the battery.

•If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones.

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.
