Precautions

Road safety

Do not use the monitor unit and headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. Doing so may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power adaptor, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• Do not touch the AC power adaptor with wet hands. Doing so may cause shock hazard.

• Do not connect the AC power adaptor to a traveler’s electric transformer, which may generate heat and cause a malfunction.

On temperature increases

Heat may build up inside the player during charging or if it is being used for a long time. This is not a malfunction.

On placement

• Do not place the player in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

Additional Information

,Continued

• Do not cover the ventilation of the player with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. And do not place the player on a soft surface, such as a rug.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates. Wipe off moisture attached to the LCD surface with tissue etc. Turn on the power again later.

• Do not place or drop any object onto the LCD surface. Also, do not apply pressure from hands or elbows.

• Do not damage the LCD surface with a sharp edged tool.

On battery pack
