2. Disconnect when not in use - When not in use, be sure to
disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.
3. Batteries - If the set is not used for a long period of time or is
used only from an AC power source, remove all the batteries to
prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Do not mix
(old and new ) batteries or different types of batteries.

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 are 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.
Rechargeable batteries
• Only the BN-R1211J battery can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short
time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is
over. Do not use them any more.
• 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.
• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.
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 bat-
teries.
• 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.
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 shortcircuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
When purchasing rechargeable batteries
As a safety precaution, the portable CD 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-Cd batteries designed especially for this unit.
Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:
BN-R1211J (set of 2)
For details, check with your dealer.
