Caution: Risk of Deafness

2. To protect your health and your hearing, keep the volume for your MP3 player below 80 decibels
and do not use for an extended period of time. Stop use if symptoms like headaches, nausea, or
hearing disorders occur.
3. Your MP3 player is limited to a volume level of 100 decibels.
4. Both the MP3 player and the earphones are compliant with the French regulation concerning
musical Walkmans (24
th
July 1998 Order).
5. Before using other headphones, confirm that their technical specifications are compatible with the
original set.
Reminders
1. Make sure the LOCK switch is set to “OFF” before trying to Power ON the unit.
2. Never use the “Quick Format,” or “Full Format” in Windows
®
to format your T.sonic™ 530.
