IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A groundingtype plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as powersupply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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; ≥Where the temperature is below 5 oC (41 oF) or above 35 oC (95 oF). (Operating

the unit beyond this range can cause the protection circuitry to function and render the unit inoperable.)

≥Sandy places such as beaches. ≥On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers.

Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while using it. The unit can become hot and cause burns.

1. ≥Use this unit to recharge the bat-

tery pack.

1. ≥Do not use the battery pack with

equipment other than the specified player.

1. ≥Do not use the player outside if it

is snowing or raining. (The battery pack is not waterproof.)

1. ≥

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

1. ≥Do not touch the plug terminals

(i and j) with metal objects.

1. ≥Do not disassemble, remodel,

heat or throw into fire.

Button-type battery (Lithium battery)

1. ≥Insert with poles aligned.

1. ≥Do not touch the terminals (i and

j) with metal objects.

1. ≥Do not disassemble, remodel,

heat or throw into fire.

1. ≥Keep out of reach of children.

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.

3. Disposing of the batteries

1. Check and follow your local regula-

tions before disposal.

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 with-

out distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ≥Set the dial and leave it there.
