Cautions
Listening precautions
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discon-
tinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are an open-air type de-
signed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume
so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BE-
FORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Rechargeable batteries
• Only the BN-R1211J (for the U.S.A. and Canada) and BN-R1211
(for other area) battery can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short
time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is
over. Do not use them any more.
• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service
life.
• When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have
not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be
shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and
discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular
state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of re-
chargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting which
is dangerous.
• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batter-
ies. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.
Notice about the rechargeable battery
The battery is designated recyclable.
Please follow your local recycling regulations.
Dry cell batteries / rechargeable
batteries
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed
the following points.
• Align the
,
and
.
polarities properly when inserting the bat-
teries.
• Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and
new batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a
long period of time.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, dis-
assemble or subject them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying dry cell batteries /
rechargeable batteries around
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or
bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are
placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-
circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
AC adaptor
• Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dan-
gerous.
• Do not touch it with wet hands.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not forcibly bend it.
• Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor provided (for the
U.S.A. only) with the unit.
• Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is
not going to be used for a long time.
