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
Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet engine 180 Rocket launching pad

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
Follow these precautions when using a battery in this device:
1.Warning - Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
2.Use only the size and type of battery specified.
3.Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the battery as indicated in the Battery Compartment. A reversed battery may cause damage to the device.
4.If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the battery to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
5.Do not try to recharge a battery not intended to be recharged; it can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)
AC CONNECTION
Unwind the AC cord and extend it to its full length. Insert the AC plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz household outlet. Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which has one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a polarized AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug into your outlet, you may have an obsolete non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to defeat this safety feature by using a non-polarized adapter or by filing the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug does not fit into your outlet, you should contact a qualified licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
