Environmental information
Warning
Never remove the casing of this apparatus.
Never lubricate any part of this apparatus.
Never place this apparatus on other electrical equipment.
Keep this apparatus away from direct sunlight, naked
Never look into the laser beam inside the apparatus.
Ensure that you always have easy access to the power
cord, plug or adapter to disconnect the apparatus from
the power.
Caution
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of

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 nor-
mally ‘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.
