This chapter provides you the safety tips and cleaning instructions for your Sansa® Clip+ MP3 player.
Safety Tips & Cleaning Instructions
Read the safety instructions carefully before using your Sansa® MP3 player.
1.Read this entire manual to ensure proper usage.
2.Keep this User Manual for future reference.
3.Do not use headphones/earphones 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/earphones 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/earphones 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 your 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 your player working well for a long time:
Clean your player with a soft lint-free cloth.
Do not allow young children to use your player unsupervised.
Never force any connector into the ports of your 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 battery as it may cause fire, injury, burns or other hazards.
Disposal Instructions
