CHAPTER 1

This chapter describes the safety tips and cleaning instructions for the SanDisk Clip Sport Go MP3 player.

Safety Tips and Cleaning Instructions

Read the safety instructions carefully before using the player.

1. Review this entire manual to ensure proper usage.

2. Keep this User Manual for future reference.

3. Do not use headphones/earbuds while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in some areas. It can also be dangerous to play your music with headphones/earbuds at high volume while walking or engaged in other activities. You should exercise extreme caution and discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

4. Avoid using headphones/earbuds at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous loud and extended music play. Keep the volume at a moderate level, so that you are better able to hear outside sound and are considerate of the people around you.

5. Keep the player away from sinks, drinks, bathtubs, showers, rain, and other sources of moisture. Moisture can cause electric shocks with any electronic device.

6. Follow these tips to keep the player working well for a long time:

• Clean the player with a soft lint-free cloth.

• Do not allow children to use the player unsupervised.

• Never force any connector into the ports of the player or your computer. Make sure

your connectors are the identical shape and size before you connect.

• Do not disassemble, crush, short-circuit, or incinerate the internal rechargeable

battery as it may cause fire, injury, burns, or other hazards.

CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Disposal Instructions

Do not dispose of this device with unsorted waste. Improper disposal may be harmful to the environment and human health. Please refer to your local waste authority for information on return and collection systems in your area for proper disposal of electronic products, components, and accessories.
