m Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
n Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus 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 apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
o Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent
battery leakage which may result in
bodily injury, property damage, or
damage to the apparatus:
Install all batteries correctly, + and - •
as marked on the apparatus.
Do not mix batteries (old and new •
or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
Remove batteries when the unit is •
not used for a long time.
The batteries shall not be exposed •
to excessive heat such as sunshine,
fire or the like.
p Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
q Do not place any sources of danger on
the apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects,
lighted candles).
r This product may contain lead and
mercury. Disposal of these materials
may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, please contact your local

Caution
Use of controls or adjustments or •
performance of procedures other than herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure or
other unsafe operation.
Warning
Never remove the casing of this unit. •
Never lubricate any part of this unit. •
Place this unit on a flat, hard and stable •
surface.
Never place this unit on other electrical
•
equipment.

Keep this unit away from direct sunlight, naked
•
flames or heat.
Never look into the laser beam inside the unit.
•
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.
Set your volume control at a low setting. •
Slowly increase the sound until you can •
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
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.
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.
