Listening caution

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against con­ tinuous 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 dis­ continue use in potentially hazardous situations. Even if your headphones or earphones is an openair 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:

oStart 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.

Maintenance

To ensure good sound quality for tape operation, be sure to clean the head after approximately every 10 hours of use.

1.Open the cassette compartment cover.

2.While pushing erase prevention lever down­ ward, press IRECI.

3.Clean the heads, pressure roller and the cap­ stan with a cotton swab dampened with a little alcohol.

Do not bring metal articles or magnetic material such as a screwdriver, near the head assembly.
