Safety information
Important battery precautions
• Any battery may present a risk of fire, explosion,
or chemical burn if abused. Do not try to charge
a battery that is not intended to be recharged,
do not incinerate, and do not puncture.
• Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline
batteries, may leak if left in your product for a
long period of time. Remove the batteries from
the product if you are not going to use it for a
month or more.
• If your product uses more than one battery, do
not mix types and make sure they are inserted
correctly. Mixing types or inserting incorrectly
may cause them to leak.
• Discard any leaky or deformed battery
immediately. They may cause skin burns or
other personal injury.
• Please help to protect the environment by
recycling or disposing of batteries according to
federal, state, and local regulations.
Electrostatic disturbance
This unit may temporarily cease to function if
subjected to electrostatic disturbance. To resume
normal operation, you may reset the player by
removing and re-installing the battery.
Precautions for the player
• Do not use the unit immediately after
transportation from a cold place to a warm
place; condensation problems may result.
• Avoid shock to the unit.
• Do not store the unit near fire, places with high
temperature or in direct sunlight. Exposure to
direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a
parked car) may cause damage or malfunction.
• Do not expose to rain or moisture.
• Do not operate or store unit in places with
frequent static electricity or electrical noise (e.g.
speaker, TV set).
• Clean the unit with a soft cloth or a damp
chamois leather. Never use solvents.
• The unit must only be opened by qualified
personnel.
Headset safety
To use a headset safely, please keep the following in
mind:
• Do not play your headset at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous
extended play.
• If you experience ringing in your ears, turn down
the volume or stop using the headset.
• Do not use a headset while driving a motorized
vehicle or riding a bike. It may cause a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
• Even if your headset is an open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the
volume so high that can’t hear sounds around
you.
