Warnings
WEEE
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive
2002/96/EG concerning used electrical and electronic appliances
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances.
Sound levels
Your hearing is very important to you and to us, so please take care when using
this Karaoke System. It is strongly recommended that you follow the listed
guidelines in order to prevent possible damage or loss of hearing.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the
impression that the volume has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to
you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this before your hearing adapts,
set the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without
distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible. Any ringing or
discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable listening level, do not increase the
sound level.
