■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 comfort able sound level:
•Set the dial and leave it there.

•Betöre using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with
the cloth carefully.
