Know these safety symbols

This ‘bolt of lightning’ indicates uninsulated
material within your unit may cause an
electrical shock. For the safety of everyone
in your household, please do not remove
product covering.
The ‘exclamation point’ calls attention to
features for which you should read the
enclosed literature closely to prevent
operating and maintenance problems.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re or
electric shock, this apparatus should not be
exposed to rain or moisture and objects fi lled

Warning

Never remove the casing of this DVD Micro Theater. •
Never lubricate any part of this DVD Micro Theater. •
Never place this DVD Micro Theater on other •
electrical equipment.
Keep this DVD Micro Theater away from direct •
sunlight, naked fl ames or heat.
Never look into the laser beam inside the DVD •
Micro Theater.

•

Ensure that you always have easy access to the

Micro Theater from the power.

Caution

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

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

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