RECYCLING NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES

Nickel-Cadmium batteries are recyclable. You can help preserve our environment by returning your unwanted batteries to your nearest point for collection, recycling or proper disposal. Note: In some areas the disposal of nickelcadmium batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) advises you about spent battery collection by the following phone number.

Call toll free number: 1-800-822-8837 (United States and Canada only) Caution: Do not handle damaged or leaking nickel-cadmium

batteries.

On rechargeable battery and charger

• Remove the charger unit from the wall outlet as soon as possible after the rechargeable battery has been charged. Overcharging may damage the rechargeable battery.

• The battery charger and the rechargeable battery may become warm during charging, but this is not a problem.

• Do not tear off the film on the rechargeable battery.

• Use only the supplied battery charger to charge the supplied rechargeable battery.

• Be sure not to short-circuit the battery. When you carry it with you, use the supplied carrying case. If you are not using the case, do not carry the battery with other metallic objects such as keys rings in your pocket.

• If the rechargeable battery is new or has not been used for a long time, it may not be charged completely until you use it several times.

• The nameplate indicating the operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior of the battery charger.

On batteries

• Do not charge a dry battery.

• Do not carry the dry or rechargeable batteries with coins or other metallic objects. It can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the batteries are accidentally contacted by a metallic object.

On headphones/earphones

Road safety

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

Preventing hearing damage

Do not use headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Caring for others

Keep the volume to a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.

On maintenance

To clean the tape head and path

Use the cleaning cassette CHK-1W (not supplied) every 10 hours of use. Use only the recommended cleaning cassette.
