socket provided for the headphones.
A few useful tips regarding batteries:
• Only use high quality batteries.
•Always insert new and matching batte- ries only, in order to avoid the batteries self-discharging.
Renew the batteries as soon as the per­formance in battery mode fades, howe­ver, not later than one year after insertion. Batteries sometimes begin to corrode after this time.
•Batteries must not be disposed of in the normal rubbish bin. Always return used batteries to the retail outlet or other collection points for disposal.
The internal loudspeakers are disabled as soon as the headphone connection plug is placed in the socket. When the headphone plug is removed the speakers will be reactivated - which can lead to an unexpected volume level if the volume was turned to high when using the headphones. For this reason the volume level should
be lowered before the headphone plug is
removed from the socket.
