AC adaptor

This AC adaptor operates on AC between

100 V and 240 V. But

• In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC power supply cord must be connected to a 120 V AC power supply only,

•When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, use a plug adap* tor to suit the AC outlet configuration.

•When connecting to a supply of greater than AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited to the voltage of the AC supply and the rated current of the AC adaptor.

•Contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance in selecting a suitable AC plug adaptor or AC cord set.

Batteries

1. Battery pack (Lithium ion battery pack)

• Use this unit to recharge the battery pack.

• Do not use the battery pack with equip ment other than the specified player.

•Do not use the player outside if it is snow ing or raining. (The battery pack is not waterproof.)

• Do not get dirt, sand, liquids, or other for eign matter on the terminals.

• Do not touch the plug terminals (-h and

-) with metal objects.

• Do not disassemble, remodel, heat or

throw into fire.

2. Button-type battery (Lithium battery)

• Insert with poles aligned.

• Do not touch the terminals (4- and -) with metal objects.

•Do not disassemble, remodel, heat or

throw into fire.

• Keep out of reach of children.

If any electrolyte should come into contact with your hands or clothes, wash it off thor oughly 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.

3. Disposing of the batteries

Check and follow your local regulations be fore disposal.

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 situ ations. 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;

• Set the dial and leave it there.

CAUTION:

The batteries used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble or incinerate the batte ries. Do not heat the batteries above the fol lowing temperatures.
