Safety
• Make sure that there is enough free space
around the product for ventilation.
• Only use attachments or accessories
specied by the manufacturer.
• Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent
battery leakage which may result in bodily
injury, property damage, or damage to the
product:
• Install the batteries correctly, + and - as
marked on the product.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new
or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove the batteries when the
product is not used for a long time.
• The batteries shall not be
exposed to excessive heat such
as sunshine, re or the like.
• Use only power supplies listed in the user
manual.
• The product shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
• Do not place any sources of danger on the
product (e.g. liquid lled objects, lighted
candles).
• Where the mains plug or an appliance
coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily

Hearing safety
A pleine puissance, l’écoute prolongée
du baladeur peut endommager
l’oreille de l’utilisateur.
Warning
• To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at
hight volume levels for long periods.
The maximum output voltage of
headphone is not greater than 150 mV.
Listen at a moderate volume.
• Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute. The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing
loss.

• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a trafc
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
With a lower priority than speaker output,
headphone output is just an additional option.
