1 Important safety information
Do not make any adjustments and modifications that are not described
in this manual. Follow all safety instructions to ensure proper
operation of the device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for
damages resulting from non-compliance with the safety instructions.
1.1 Safety instructions
• Protect the device from rain or water to prevent a shor t circuit.
• Do not expose the device to excessive heat caused by placing it on a
heating device or in direct sunlight.
• Protect the cables from damage by being trapped, particularly at the
plugs and where cables exit the housing.
• Back up your data and recordings. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for any loss of data.
• Do not perform any maintenance operations that are not
described in this user manual. Do not disassemble the device into
its component parts to carry out repairs. The device may only be
repaired in authorised service centres.
1.1.1 Batteries and rechargeable batteries
• Only use AA A type batteries or rechargeable batteries for the
device and CR2025 type for the remote control (DVT5500,
DVT7000).
• DVT1000, DVT1500: Never try to recharge the batteries.
• DVT3000 – DVT7000: Instead of rechargeable batteries, you can
use AA A type batteries. The LFH9154 Philips rechargeable batteries
can be charged in the device. Connect the device to a computer or
use an external battery charger.
• Fully charge the rechargeable batteries before first use. A full
recharge cycle takes about 2.5 hours when the device is connected

1.1.3 Hearing protection
1.1.5 Legal restrictions on recording
Observe the following guidelines when using headphones:
• Set the volume to a moderate level and do not use headphones to
listen for excessively long periods of time.
• Be particularly careful to avoid adjusting the volume to a level that
your hearing cannot deal with.
• Do not turn the volume up so high that you cannot hear what is
going on around you.
• In potentially dangerous situations you must be very careful, or
temporarily discontinue use.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorised vehicle, cycling,
or skateboarding, etc. You could be a hazard to yourself and other
road users, and possibly be breaking the law.
1.1.4 Maximum sound power

power of its audio players as determined by relevant regulatory
bodies, but only with the original model of headphones supplied. If
