Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
General Information/Maintenance
Avoid condensation problem
The lens may cloud over when the player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
Do not block the vents
Do not operate the system in an enclosed
cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.
The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers table-cloths, cur tains, etc.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Cleaning discs
To clean a CD, wipe it in a
straight line from the center towards the edge using soft and lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc.
Write only on the printed side
of a CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the
surface.
Finding a suitable location
Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.
Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.
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.
English
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.
