Warning

Never remove the casing of this Micro Hi-Fi. •
Never lubricate any part of this Micro Hi-Fi.•
Never place this Micro Hi-Fi on other electrical •
equipment.

•

Keep this Micro Hi-Fi away from direct sunlight, naked
fl ames or heat.

•

Never look into the laser beam inside the Micro Hi-Fi.
Ensure that you always have easy access to the power •
cord, plug or adaptor to disconnect the Micro Hi-Fi
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 operation.

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.

English

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.

Notice

Any changes or modifi cations made to this
device that are not expressly approved by
Philips Consumer Lifestyle may void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.
We have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene
(bags, protective foam sheet.)
Your system consists of materials which can
be recycled and reused if disassembled by
a specialized company. Please observe the
local regulations regarding the disposal of
packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

Prolonged exposure to sound, even at •
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing
loss.
