Rechargeable battery precautions

•Do not toss the rechargeable battery into a fire, and do not heat up the battery.
Doing so could cause battery heat generation, battery fires, and battery
rupture.

•Do not subject the rechargeable battery to strong impact forces, such as
stabbing it with sharp objects (a nail, etc.), tapping it with a hammer, or
stepping on it. Doing so could cause battery heat generation, battery fires,
and battery rupture.

•Do not place foreign objects inside the Portable Speaker Dock. Doing so could
cause fires and electrical shocks.

•Do not charge, use, or place the Portable Speaker Dock in high-temperature
locations such as near heaters and stove burners, in areas exposed to direct
sunlight, or inside a car on a hot day. Doing so could cause battery heat
generation, battery fires, and battery rupture.

Such actions could also affect the performance and shorten the life of the
internal rechargeable battery.

•Stop using the Portable Speaker Dock immediately, and contact the sales
outlet or DENON in the event that abnormal odors or heat generation occurs
while using, charging, or storing the Portable Speaker Dock, or if other
abnormalities such as discoloration, etc., are detected.

•Always observe the following precautions:

•Do not place the Portable Speaker Dock in a microwave oven or in a high-

pressure container.

•Do not place the Portable Speaker Dock on top of an electromagnetic cooker.

•Do not attempt to recharge the internal rechargeable battery by connecting

it to a power outlet or a car's cigarette lighter socket.

•Strictly observe the recharging procedure and conditions specified by

DENON.

•If fluid should leak from the rechargeable battery and get into the eyes, do not
rub the eyes. Instead, rinse the eyes thoroughly with tap water, etc., and see
a doctor without delay for treatment. Leaving the eyes untreated could cause
vision impairment.

•Do not use the Portable Speaker Dock near medical devices, automatic doors,
or fire alarms, etc. Signals from the Portable Speaker Dock could interfere with
the operation of those devices, possibly causing malfunctions and accidents.

•If recharging fails to complete even though the prescribed recharging time
period has elapsed, stop the recharging operation. Continuing to recharge the
battery could cause battery heat generation, battery fires, and battery rupture.

CAUTION:

To completely disconnect this product from the mains, disconnect the plug
from the wall socket outlet.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

This is a next generation standard encryption
method replacing the current DES and 3DES, and
because of its high security it is expected to be
applied widely to wireless LANs in the future. It
uses the “Rijndael” algorithm developed by two
Belgian cryptographers to divide the data into
blocks of fixed lengths and encrypt each block.
It supports data lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits
and key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits as well,
offering extremely high encryption security.

I

IEEE 802.11b

This is one wireless LAN standard set by the 802
working group that establishes LAN technology
standards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers) of the United States. It
uses the 2.4 GHz band usable freely without
a radio frequency license (ISM band), enabling
communications at a maximum speed of 11 Mbps.

•The value indicated above is the maximum
theoretical value for the wireless LAN standard,
and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.

IEEE 802.11g

This is another wireless LAN standard set by the
802 working group that establishes LAN technology
standards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers) of the United States, and
is compatible with IEEE 802.11b. It also uses the

2.4 GHz band, but enables communications at a

maximum speed of 54 Mbps.

•The value indicated above is the maximum
theoretical value for the wireless LAN standard,
and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.

iTunes

iTunes is the name of the multimedia player
provided by Apple Inc. It enables management
and playback of multimedia contents including
music and movies. iTunes supports many main file
formats including AAC, WAV, and MP3.

M

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)

This is an internationally standardized audio data
compression scheme, using the “MPEG-1” video
compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while
maintaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group),
MPEG-2, MPEG-4

These are the names for digital compression format
standards used for the encoding of video and audio.
Video standards include “MPEG-1 Video”, “MPEG­2 Video”, “MPEG-4 Visual”, “MPEG-4 AVC”. Audio
standards include “MPEG-1 Audio”, “MPEG-2
Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.

N

Network Names
(SSID: Security Set Identifier)

When forming wireless LAN networks, groups are
formed to prevent interference, data theft, etc.
This grouping is done by “SSID” or “Security Set
Identifiers”. For further security, a WEP key is set
and signal transfer is not possible unless the SSID
and WEP key match.

P

Protection Circuit

This is a function to prevent damage to devices
within the power supply when an abnormality
such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or
temperature for any reason.
In this unit, the power indicator blinks and the unit
enters standby mode when an abnormality occurs.

S

Sampling frequency

Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave
(analog signal) at regular intervals and expressing
the height of the wave at each reading in digitized
format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is
called the “sampling frequency”. The larger the
value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.

T

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

This is a network key used for WPA. The encryption
algorithm is RC4, the same as for WEP, but the
security level is increased by changing the network
key used for encryption for each packet.
