1.1 Safety instructions

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis­ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding­type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particu­larly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• 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.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified ser vice 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.

• Battery usage: CAUTION To prevent battery leakage which may
result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:

• Install all batteries correctly, + and – as marked on the unit.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

• Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus
(e.g. liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

• This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these
materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local
authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.

1.2 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.

Disposal of your old product

Your product is designed and manufactured with high
quality materials and components, which can be recycled
and reused.
When this crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is attached

to a product it means the product is covered by the European
Directive 2002/96/EC.
Please inform yourself about the local separate collection system for
electrical and electronic products. Please act according to your local
rules and do not dispose of your old products with your normal
household waste. The correct disposal of your old product will help
prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and
human health.

1.3 Power Sources

This unit operates on a supplied AC adapter or car adapter.

• Make sure that the input voltage of the AC adaptor is in line with
the local voltage. Otherwise, the AC adaptor and unit maybe dam­aged.

• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands to prevent electric
shock.

• When connecting with car power (cigarette lighter) adaptor, be
sure the input voltage of the adaptor is identical with car voltage.

• Unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet when the unit is not used
for long periods of time.

• Hold the plug to disconnect the AC adaptor. Do not pull the
power cord.

Please always use supplied AC/DC adapter (AY4130).

1.4 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 somehearing 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 your­hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before
your hearing adapts and leave it there.

• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.

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 distor tion.

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.

• Important (for models with by-packed headphones): Philips guar­antees compliance with the maximum sound power of itsaudio
players as determined by relevant regulator y bodies onlywith the
original model of provided headphones. In case this oneneeds
replacement, we recommend that you contact yourretailer to
order a model identical to that of the originalprovided by Philips.

• Traffic safety: do not use while driving or cycling as you maycause
an accident.

Copyright information

The making of unauthorized copies of copy-protected material, including com­puter programmes, files, broadcasts and sound recordings, may be an infringe­ment of copyrights and constitute a criminal offence. This equipment should not
be used for such purposes.

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fi tted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To
change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI ap-

proved type.

3 Refi t the fuse cover.

If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fi tted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value
of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

• As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or co-

loured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal

marked L or coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the ear th terminal in the

plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yel­low).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.
