Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Safety Information

● Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate of
your system is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply. If not, please consult your
dealer.

● Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler

is used as the disconnet device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be reached easily.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

● Excessive sound pressure from earphones and

headphones can cause hearing loss.

● Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat

such as sunshine, fire or the like.

● If the system is brought directly from a cold to a

warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.

● Batteries (batter y pack or batteries installed)

shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.

● When the system is switched to Standby

mode, it is still consuming some power.

To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.

Hearing Safety

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.

● 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.

● Do not use headphones while operating a

motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.

The type plate is located at the bottom of
the system.

A Pow er

Using any other power connection device

automatically under extreme conditions. If
this happens, let the system cool down
before reusing it (not available for all versions).
