6 Important safety instructions

Please read and strictly observe the following instructions!

 You are not permitted to disassemble, modify or repair the

MP3 player.

 If the MP3 player has been dropped or if the casing has been dam-

aged, turn it off.

 Do not give your MP3 player and especially the accessories to

children. Never let your children use electrical devices without supervi-

sion. Children are not always able to recognize potential hazards. Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Store the batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical help has to be obtained immediately. Also keep the packaging films away from children. There is a danger of suffocation.

 The MP3 player and the accompanying components may not be

exposed to dripping or sprayed water. Additionally, no objects or con-

tainers containing liquids, such as vases or glasses, may be placed on top of the device. Pay special attention to the device when it rains, snows, at the beach, or in the vicinity of water.

 Do not use the MP3 player in environments with high humidity,

large amounts of steam, smoke, or dust.

 Don’t leave the MP3 player in locations where the temperature can

rise to a large degree (e.g. inside a vehicle). This could damage the casing and interior parts and cause a fire.

 Only place the MP3 player on stable surfaces. Otherwise the MP3

player could drop or topple, cause injuries or sustain damage. Don’t let the MP3 player drop or bump against anything and take great care when using it.

English

 Make sure that the display is not exposed to any bumps. This could

damage the glass of the display or cause the liquid to leak out. If the liquid gets into the eyes, on the skin or the clothes, it has to be rinsed off immediately with clear water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, consult your physician immediately.

 Don’t use the MP3 player at an excessive volume.

Longer listening periods at an excessive volume pose a risk to your hearing.

 Only use the MP3 player with the included head-

phones. The use of headphones with other input impedances can lead

to sound pressure that may pose a health risk.

 Use particular care in potentially dangerous situations (e.g. while

driving, riding a bicycle, jogging, etc.) or discontinue the use of the headphones temporarily. Even if your headphones are designed in

such a way that you can continue to perceive external sounds, you should set the volume only so high that you can still perceive your environment.

 We advise against the use of headphones while driving a car or

other vehicle. Please drive carefully and attentively. If you notice that

the device distracts or impedes you while you are driving, switch it off.

 There is a danger of explosion if the battery is replaced improperly. Also

read the important information about battery use on page 14.

 Dispose of your battery in compliance with the

battery ordinance. “The end consumer is obligated to

return discarded batteries to a distributor or a redemption site intended for this purpose by a public waste management facility.” (see p. 31)

 Dispose of your MP3 player and the batteries in

compliance with the Directive 2002/96/EC (see p.

31). In particular, the device does not belong into household trash.
