1 Important
Safety
Hearing safety
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.
Set your volume control at a low setting. •
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably •
and clearly, without distortion.
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.
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
maycreateatrafchazardandisillegalinmanyareas.
Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the •
disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.

How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code:
blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings •
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured •
black.
Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured •
red.
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, •
marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is
clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

8 About DAB
About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio via a network
ofterrestrialtransmitters.Itprovideslistenerswithmorechoiceand
information delivered in crystal clear, crackle-free sound quality.

What is a multiplex?
Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called
a multiplex. Each multiplex works within a frequency spectrum, such as
BandIIIforDABbroadcasts.
DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS
Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and
audio data services. Some programmes are supported by Dynamic
Label Segments (DLS).This is data which you can read as scrolling text
on your DAB radio display. Some stations transmit the latest news,
travel, and weather, what’s on now and next, website addresses and
phone numbers.
