literature closely to prevent operating and

maintenance problems.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric

shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to

rain or moisture and objects lled with liquids,

such as vases, should not be placed on this

apparatus.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match

wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

Important Safety Instructions

a Read and follow these instruction.

b Do not use this apparatus near water.

c Clean only with dry cloth.

d Do not block any ventilation openings.

Install in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions.

e Do not install near any heat sources such

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including ampliers) that

produce heat.

f Protect the power cord from being

walked on or pinched, particularly at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the apparatus.

g Only use attachments/accessories

specied by the manufacturer.

h Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specied by the

manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when

moving the cart/apparatus combination to

avoid injury from tip-over.

i Unplug this apparatus during lightning

storms or when unused for long periods

of time.

j Refer all servicing to qualied service

personnel. Servicing is required when

the apparatus has been damaged in any

way, such as power-supply cord or plug

is damaged, liquid has been spilled or

objects have fallen into the apparatus, the

apparatus has been exposed to rain or

moisture, does not operate normally, or

has been dropped.

k Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent

battery leakage which may result in bodily

injury, property damage, or damage to

the unit:

• Install all batteries correctly, + and - as

marked on the unit.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or

carbon and alkaline, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the unit is not

used for a long time.

• Batteries (battery pack or batteries

installed) shall not be exposed to

excessive heat such as sunshine, re or

the like.

English

l Apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

m Do not place any sources of danger on

the apparatus (e.g. liquid lled objects,

lighted candles).

n Where the MAINS plug or an appliance

coupler is used as the disconnect

device,the disconnect device shall remain

readily operable.

Warning

•Never remove the casing of this apparatus.

•Never lubricate any part of this apparatus.

•Never place this apparatus on other electrical

equipment.

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.

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 trafc

hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Notice

Any changes or modications made to this

device that are not expressly approved by

WOOX Innovations may void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

This product complies with the radio

interference requirements of the European

Community.
