Warning

Never rem ove the casing of this Micro Hi-Fi. •
Never lubr icate any par t of this M icro Hi-Fi. •
Never place t his Micro Hi- Fi on other elec trical equipment. •
Keep this Mi cro Hi-Fi away f rom direct sunlight, nake d fl ames or hea t. •
Never look into the laser beam inside the Micro Hi- Fi. •
Ensure that you always have ea sy access to the power cord , plug or •
adaptor to disconnec t the Micro Hi- Fi from the powe r.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other •
than herein m ay result in hazardous radiation e xposure or other
unsafe operation.

Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

•

Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing.
This produc t can produce sounds in decibel r anges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less
than a minute. The higher decibel ranges ar e offered for those
that may have already experienced some hear ing loss.

•

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfor t
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 agains t 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, wi thout distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

•

Prolonged exposure to sound, even at nor mally ‘safe’ levels,
can also cause hearing loss.

•

Be sure to use your equipment rea sonably and take
appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your
headphones.

•

Listen at reasonable volumes for rea sonable 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
oper ating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a traffi c hazard and is illegal in many areas.
