Safety

Warning

• Never remove the casing of this clock radio.

• Never lubricate any part of this clock radio.

• Never place this clock radio on other electrical

equipment.

• Keep this clock radio away from direct sunlight, naked

ames or heat.

• Make sure that you always have easy access to the

power cord, plug or adaptor to disconnect the clock radio from the power.

• Remove the battery when the remote control is not used for a long time.

• The battery shall not be exposed to

excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the

like.

• The product shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

• Do not place any sources of danger on the

product (e.g. liquid lled objects, lighted candles).

• Where the plug of the Direct Plug-in Adapter is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Hearing safety

• Read and follow these instructions.

• Make sure that there is enough free space around the product for ventilation.

• Refer all servicing to qualied ser vice personnel. Servicing is required when the clock radio has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the clock radio, the clock radio has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

• Use only power supplies listed in the user manual.

• Unplug this product during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent battery leakage which may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the remote control:

• Install the battery correctly, + and - as

marked on the remote control.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or

carbon and alkaline, etc.).

Listen at a moderate volume.

• Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.

• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing 'comfort level' adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds 'normal' can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally 'safe' levels, can also cause hearing loss.

2 EN

• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.

• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.

• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.

• You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Note

• The type plate is located on the back of the device.
