Precautions

On safety

•Make sure to keep the player in the supplied carrying case. If the terminals on the player or the battery charging stand are accidentally brought into contact with a metallic object, they may short-circuit and begin to heat up.

•Keep the terminals on the player away from metallic objects or surfaces. Such contact may short-circuit the terminals and cause dangerous heat generation.

•Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 6V jack.

•If you will not use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (AC power adaptor or the battery charging stand). When disconnecting the AC power adaptor from the electrical outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never pull the cord.

On the AC power adaptor (for the supplied battery charging stand)

•For use in your house: Use the supplied AC power adaptor. Do not use any other AC power adaptor; it may cause the player to malfunction.

Polarity of the plug

•Connect the AC power adaptor correctly.

•Do not touch the AC power adaptor with wet hands.

•Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adaptor, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately.

On charging

•The supplied battery charging stand can be used only with the QUALIA 017. It cannot be used to charge any other models.

•Charge the built-in battery at a temperature of 0°C (+32°F) to +40°C (+104°F). The charging time will vary according to the room temperature. (If the room temperature is low, the required charging time will be longer. This is a characteristic of the built-in lithium-ion battery.)

•Because of the battery’s characteristics, the capacity of the built-in rechargeable battery may be smaller than normal when it is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal battery life will be restored.

•If the life of the built-in rechargeable battery drops to half the normal length, the battery should be replaced. Contact QUALIA Concierge.

•If the player will not be used for a long time, remove the player from the battery charging stand and disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet. If the player will not be used for three months or more, we also recommend that you set the BUILT-IN BATTERY switch (for built-in rechargeable battery) located inside right side of the player to OFF.
