EN

Remove batteries when the unit is •
not used for a long time.
Batteries (battery pack or batteries •
installed) shall not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire
or the like.

o Apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

p Do not place any sources of danger on

the apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects,
lighted candles).

q Where the MAINS plug or an appliance

Warning

Never remove the casing of this apparatus. •
Never lubricate any par t of this apparatus. •
Never place this apparatus on other electrical •

Keep this apparatus away from direct sunlight, •
naked flames or heat.
Never look into the laser beam inside the •
apparatus.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or •
performance of procedures other than herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure or
other unsafe operation.

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.

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.

Any changes or modifications made to this
device that are not expressly approved by
