Headphones

Insert the supplied headphones (one pair of wrap-around headphones
included) into one of the Headphones jacks. There is a separate volume
control on the wrap-around headphones, so adjust as desired .
Insert a second pair of headphones into the other Headphones jack to enjoy
listening with a friend.

Use your common sense when using headphones:

• Hearing Safety: Do not play your unit at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous extended play. If you experience a ringing in
your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

• Traffic Safety: Do not use while operating a motor vehicle. It may create a
traffic hazard and it is illegal in many areas. You should use extreme
caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s
around you.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for Compact Discs

• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the
compact disc only by its edges. Never allow your
fingers to come in contact with the shiny,
unprinted side of the compact disc.

• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact disc label.

• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never
use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If
necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

• If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is
probably dirty or damaged (scratched).

• When cleaning the compact
disc, wipe in straight lines
from the center of the compact
disc to the outer edge of the
compact disc. Never wipe in
circular motions.

• This unit is designed to play
only compact discs bearing
the identification logo as shown here. Other compact discs
may not conform to the CD standard and may not play
properly.

• Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid
damage.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high
temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures
can warp the compact disc.

• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp
writing instruments, or the ink may damage the surface.

Cleaning the unit

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power
source when cleaning.

• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as
other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.

• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
