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 fire or
electric shock, this apparatus should not be
exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled
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.
a Read these instructions.
b Keep these instructions.
c Heed all warnings.
d Follow all instructions.
e Do not use this apparatus near water.
f Clean only with dry cloth.
g Do not block any ventilation openings.
Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
h Do not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
i Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched, particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
j Only use attachments/accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
k Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
l Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
m Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
n Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent
battery leakage which may result in
bodily injury, property damage, or
damage to the apparatus:
4
EN
Install all batteries correctly, + and - •
as marked on the apparatus.
Do not mix batteries (old and new •
or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
Remove batteries when the unit is •
not used for a long time.
o The batteries shall not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or
the like.
p Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
q Do not place any sources of danger on
the apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects,
lighted candles).
Caution
Use of controls or adjustments or •
performance of procedures other than herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure or
other unsafe operation.
Warning
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance •
coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.
Warning
Never remove the casing of this unit. •
Never lubricate any par t of this unit . •
Place this unit on a flat, hard and stable •
surface.
Never place this unit on other electrical
•
equipment.
Only use this unit indoors. Keep this unit away
•
from water, moisture and liquid-filled objects.
Keep this unit away from direct sunlight, naked
•
flames or heat.
Never look into the laser beam inside the unit.
•
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
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.
