Precautions on the unit and SD memory card

To prevent malfunction, do not leave the unit and/or SD memory card in the following locations.

• In a closed automobile (particularly in the summer).

• In a place with high humidity, for example in a bathroom

• In a place with excessive dust.

• In a place subject to direct sunlight or near heating equipment.

• In a place exposed to corrosive gas, etc.

Also avoid the following:

• Disassembly or modification.

• Strong impact, dropping or moistening with rainwater. Inserting an object other than an SD memory card into the card insertion slot.

•

• Using a cracked or deformed SD memory card.

• Applying excessive force when opening the battery compartment cover or card cover.

Cautions

Listening caution

•

EST. 1924

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones is an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Carrying dry cell batteries / rechargeable batteries around

When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire. Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable batteries in the provided battery carrying case.

When purchasing rechargeable batteries

As a safety precaution, the SD audio players made by JVC have a construction designed to make it impossible to recharge ordinary batteries. To use rechargeable batteries, be absolutely sure to purchase the rechargeable Ni-MH batteries designed especially for this unit. Special rechargeable Ni-MH batteries: BN-R1213 (set of 2) For details, check with your dealer.

Notice about the rechargeable battery

The battery is designed recycable.

Please follow your local recycling regulations.

When driving a car

In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit while driving.

Rechargeable batteries

• Only the BN-R1213 or HHR-4UP/HHR-4AH (Panasonic) battery can be recharged.

• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service life.

• When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular state.

• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.

• The rechargeable batteries and charger equipment may generate heat during recharging. This is not a malfunction.

• If the rechargeable batteries are recharged near a radio receiver, noise may interfere with AM reception.

• The rechargeable batteries should be recharged under an ambient temperature between 10 and 35˚C.

When the rechargeable batteries are not to be used for a long period, recharge

• them at least every 3 months to prevent degradation of performance.

• When the battery operation time from the fully charged condition drops below half the usual, it is a sign that the service life of the rechargeable batteries has expired. In this case, replace the rechargeable batteries.

WARNING

• Use only JVC chargers designed for BN-R1213.

• Do not disassemble, dispose of in fire, or short circuit.

• Do not remove the covering.

Dry cell batteries / rechargeable batteries

To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.

• Align the ª and · polarities properly when inserting the batteries.

• Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and new batteries.

• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.

• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.

• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
