• 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.

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

• The manufacturer guarantees compliance with the maximum sound power of its audio players as determined by relevant regulatory bodies, but only with the original model of headphones supplied. If you need to replace these headphones, we recommend contacting your dealer to order the respective original Philips model.

• The use of the device's recording function is subject to the legal restrictions that may apply in your country. You should also respect the privacy and personal rights of the third parties if you record talks or lectures.
