serves as the main disconnect device for the unit,
you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut
down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has
been installed so that the power cord can be easily
unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident.
To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be
unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a

Cet appareil n’est pas étanche. Pour éviter les risques
d’incendie et de décharge électrique, ne placez près de
lui un récipient rempli d’eau, tel qu’un vase ou un pot
de fleurs, et ne l’exposez pas à des gouttes d’eau, des
éclaboussures, de la pluie ou de l’humidité.
AVERTISSEMENT
Cet appareil est muni d’une fiche de mise à la terre
n.
(masse) à trois fils. Comme la fiche présente une
troisième broche (de terre), elle ne peut se brancher
que sur une prise de courant, prévue pour une mise à
la terre. Si vous n’arrivez pas à insérer la fiche dans la
prise de courant, contactez un électricien qualifié pour
faire remplacer la prise par une qui soit mise à la terre.
N’annulez pas la fonction de sécurité que procure cette
fiche de mise à la terre.
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour éviter les risques d’incendie, ne placez aucune
flamme nue (telle qu’une bougie allumée) sur l’appareil.
Milieu de fonctionnement
y:
Température et humidité du milieu de fonctionnement :
De +5 °C à +35 °C (de +41 °F à +95 °F) ; Humidité
relative inférieure à 85 % (orifices de ventilation non

un lieu soumis à une forte humidité ou en plein soleil
(ou à une forte lumière artificielle).
PRÉCAUTION DE VENTILATION
Lors de l’installation de l’appareil, veillez à laisser un
espace suffisant autour de ses parois de manière à
améliorer la dissipation de chaleur (au moins 5 cm sur
le dessus, 5 cm à l’arrière et 5 cm de chaque côté).
ATTENTION
L’interrupteur de cet appareil ne coupe pas
complètement celui-ci de sa prise secteur. Comme le
cordon d’alimentation fait office de dispositif de
déconnexion du secteur, il devra être débranché au
niveau de la prise secteur pour que l’appareil soit
complètement hors tension. Par conséquent, veillez à
installer l’appareil de telle manière que son cordon
d’alimentation puisse être facilement débranché de
la prise secteur en cas d’accident. Pour éviter tout
risque d’incendie, le cordon d’alimentation sera
débranché au niveau de la prise secteur si vous
prévoyez une période prolongée de non utilisation
(par exemple avant un départ en vacances).

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so
to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
