Precautions

• Do not drop or subject to impact.

• Do not stretch the cable.

• Avoid exposing the units to water. If water
enters the units, a malfunction may occur,
which may not be repairable.

• The units are neither dust-proof, nor
splash-proof.

• Do not allow condensation to form in the
unit, or use the unit near water.

• Stop using the unit immediately if it gets
wet. In an attempt to resume use of the
unit, do not charge the battery or dry the
unit forcibly using heating apparatus
(microwave, etc.).

• Do not leave the unit in a humid place.
An environment where a humidifier's
vapor is emitted (as a result of sudden
temperature change) may cause
condensation in the unit.

• Do not place the unit near the vents of an
air conditioner. If the unit is brought
directly from a cold to a warm location,
condensation may occur inside.

• The minimum age for wearing the
captioning glasses is seven years old.

• The lenses of the captioning glasses are
made of glass. If the glass cracks or
breaks, contact your dealer and refrain
from touching it or attempting to repair it
yourself. Damage may be incurred if the
captioning glasses sustain a shock or if
they are dropped; therefore, be careful
when handling them. Damages resulting
from inappropriate handling of the
captioning glasses are not covered under
warranty.

• Hold the connector when disconnecting
the cable from the unit; do not hold the
cable, as it may be damaged and closed
captions may not be displayed.

• Hold the connector when connecting the
cable to the receiver; do not bend the cable
at the connector/cable junction, as it may
be damaged and closed captions may not
be displayed.

• Do not loop the cable around the unit.
The cable may be damaged and closed
captions may not be displayed.

receiver box switches between these modes
by detecting whether the captioning glasses
are connected or not.

receiver box works in the Captioning mode,
and the captioning glasses display captions.
With the captioning glasses not connected,
the receiver box works in Audio mode, and
headphones play audio descriptions for the
visually impaired, or assistive audio for the
hearing impaired. The headphones should be
connected to the headphone jack of the
receiver box.
