English

This ‘bolt of lightning’ indicates uninsulated
material within your unit may cause an
electrical shock. For the safety of ever yone
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
with liquids, such as vases, should not be
placed on this apparatus.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match
wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

Where the MAINS plug or an appliance •
coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.

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 comfor tably and clearly, without
distortion.

EN

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 traffi c
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Any changes or modifi cations made to this
