LISTENING

For A Lifetime

Want You

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. 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.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries

Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged

exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level

Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50

Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet of

fice 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 80 A

Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

verage city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE:

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120

ode, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper

C grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-

n wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors,

ocation of antenna discharge product, connection to grounding

l electrodes and requirements for grounding electrodes.

• Remove the battery compartment door by pressing in on the tab and lifting the battery compartment door off.

• Insert two (2) AAA size batteries into the battery compartment as shown to the right. Be sure to observe the polarity markings which are engraved inside the battery compartment. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, the remote control will not operate.

• Replace the battery compartment door.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:

1. Use only the size and type of batteries speciﬁed (alkaline are recommended).

2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline, Carbon-zinc or rechargeable) or old batteries with fresh ones.

4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

aring for Compact Discs

• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact disc

only by its edges. Never allow your ﬁngers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.

• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact

disc label.

• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free,

dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

• If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged

(scratched).

• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer

edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.

• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo as shown here.
