PRECAUTIONS
■ Important
● Do not wear your headphones when
you are crossing streets or near traffic.
● Do not use your headphones while
driving a motor vehicle, it may create a
dangerous traffic hazard and may be
illegal. Remember to obey all of the
safety rules in your area.
● Do not play the unit at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against extended play at high volume levels.
● If you experience ringing in your ears,
reduce the volume or discontinue use.
■ Volume setting
Reduce the volume before starting to play.
MiniDiscs, compared to ordinary cassette
tapes, have very little noise. If the volume
is adjusted according to your usual expectations of noise, you may damage your
hearing due to the high volume.
■ Storing the unit
Avoid using or leaving the unit in the
following places.
● Places exposed to direct sunlight for
many hours (especially in cars with the
doors and windows closed) or near
heaters.
(The cabinet may deform, change color
or the unit may malfunction).
● Places exposed to water.
● Places exposed to excessive dust.
● Places where temperatures are ex-
cessively high or low.
● Places (bathrooms) where the humidity
is extremely high.
● Places with strong magnetic fields such
as TVs or loudspeakers.
● Places exposed to vibration.
● Places where sand can easily enter the
inside of the unit (beaches etc.).
● If the unit is used near radio tuners or
TVs, noise and/or picture interference
may result. If you experience these
problems, move the unit away from
such devices.
■ Concern for others when
listening to MiniDiscs
While listening to music, the sound escaping from your headphones may disturb
people around you.
If you are using the unit in particularly
crowded places (such as on trains or
buses), reduce the volume to avoid annoying people around you.

■ Notes about the rechargeable battery
● A rechargeable lithium-ion battery is
the only kind that can be used.
Even if the battery supplied with the
unit is not used, you should charge it at
least once every three months because
of the special quality of this battery.
● The rechargeable battery can be
charged approximately 300 times.
● Do not use any battery other than that
specified. Use of other batteries may
cause malfunctions.
● When the operating time is reduced to
about half the normal amount of time,
even after a full charge is performed,
replace the battery with a new one.
● When charging or when using the rechargeable battery, use it within an ambient temperature range of 41°F - 95°F
(5°C - 35°C ).
● If the rechargeable battery is used in a
cold environment, the operating time
will decrease.
Since the rechargeable battery is
vulnerable to damage, please note the
following.
● Do not carry the battery in your pocket
or in a bag together with metal objects
(keys, coins, jewelry, etc.).
The battery may short out and generate
significant amounts of heat.
● Do not short-circuit the terminals as
they will become very hot and will damage the battery.
● Do not dip the battery in water, do not
dispose of it in a fire, and do not take it
apart.
To avoid damaging the battery and
shortening its service life, please note
the following.
● Do not drop or subject the battery to
shock.
