Do not get the player wet or drop it in water.

If the player gets wet, do not switch it on. Contact a Service Center.

Do not place the player in damp, dusty or sooty areas, as it could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not leave the player in areas above 35°C(95°F) (such as a sauna or inside a parked car).

Read this manual carefully to ensure proper use of the player and to avoid any danger or physical damage.

Failing to heed the player instructions may cause serious injury.

To avoid your hearing damage

Using the earphone or headphone for an extended time can cause a serious damage to your hearing.

If you are exposed to a sound in higher than 85db for an extended time, you will be adversely affected on your hearing. The higher the sound is, the more seriously damaged your hearing is (an ordinary conversation is made in 50 to 60 db and the noise level on the road is approximately 80 db). You are strongly advised to set the volume level to medium (the medium level is usually less than 2/3 of the maximum).

If you feel a ringing in the ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earphone or headphone.

To avoid a risk of traffic accident

Do not use the earphone while you are driving a bicycle,automobile or motorcycle.

Otherwise it can cause a serious accident and, furthermore, it is prohibited by the law in some areas. Using the earphone on the way, in particular, on the crosswalk can lead to a serious accident.

For your safety, make sure the earphone cable should not get in the way of your arm or other surrounding objects while you are taking exercise or a walk.

Failure to follow all instructions lead to physical injuries or damage to the player.
