Excessive volume or sound pressure level when using earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss over extended periods of
time. Set the volume at a low level and increase it only enough that you can hear comfortably.
Small Parts, Cords, Cables, and Straps
Cords, cables, and straps are potential entanglement or strangulation hazards. Please consider this prior to placing these items with
device users.
On a regular basis, visually inspect cables, cords, and connectors for damage or wear, especially where they are subject to extra
stress. Cables and cords can become frayed or damaged from heavy use or with age. For example, a frayed cable could cause a
battery charger/power adapter to short-circuit, posing a hazard to the user. If any cable, cord, or connector is damaged or worn, call
Service for a replacement.
When unplugging a cable or cord, grasp the connector instead of the cable or cord itself to avoid damage or wear.
Always use cables, whether for charging or transferring vocabulary files, according to the instructions in this manual.
