false impression that the audio level is not high enough. Users may try to progressively increase the

volume control therefore risking a dangerous noise level for their ears.

2. To protect your health and your hearing, keep the volume of 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 its accompanying earphones are compliant with the French regulation

concerning musical Walkmans (24

July 1998 Order).

5. Before using other earphones, 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™ 820.

3. Follow the procedures in the “

Disconnecting from a Computer” section to remove your T.sonic™

820 from a computer.
