The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

The unit should be installed near an accessible AC power outlet, with the power cord connected directly to it. To completely disconnect power from the unit, unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet.

Listening caution

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 the 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:

● Leave it there.

To prevent damage

Avoid the following:

● Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.

● Pressing the LCD.

● Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup. Do not use the unit in the following places:

● Sandy places such as beaches.

●

On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers. Do not leave in an unventilated automobile or exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures.

1 Battery pack (Lithium ion battery pack)

●

Use the specified unit to recharge the battery pack.

●

Do not get dirt, sand, liquids, or other foreign matter on

●

Do not touch the plug terminals (+ and -) with metal objects.

●

Do not disassemble, remodel, heat or throw into fire.

●

Do not heat or expose to flame.

●

Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and

windows closed. If any electrolyte should come into contact with your hands or clothes, wash it off thoroughly with water. If any electrolyte should come into contact with your eyes, never rub the eyes. Rinse eyes thoroughly with water, and then consult a doctor.
