may cause fatal damages to your player.

+ Do not expose the player to water or keep it in a damp or humid

location for an extended period of time. If the player is damaged
from moisture as described above, product failure is then classified
as a user’s misuse.

circumstances.

Connecting cables incorrectly may damage your player or PC. Also,
do not bend or press connection cables with heavy objects.

+ Be sure to avoid charging the product in the vicinity of a heating

apparatus or in a high-temperature environment. To minimize the
risk of damage or fire, never cover the device with any objects
