072-65284M-02 (SonicMan SN1)    24 Feb 2005

 

2.1 

SonicMan: SN1

 Precautions

    

 
 

Do not use any components other 
than those included.

 Use the 

included battery pack, charger and 
communications cable. Use of other 
items could result in excessive heat 
generation, ignition, rupture, 
electrical shock, fire or other 
undesirable situations. 

 

PROHIBITED 

Take measures to prevent 
entanglement.

 Operating the unit 

with the strap, earphones cord or 
communications cable hanging 
loosely could result in accidents 
caused by their becoming caught in 
rotating equipment. Hold them close 
to the body and take measures to 
prevent entanglement during 
operation. 

 

MANDATORY 

 

Do not direct the beam of the 
laser pointer at people.

 If the beam 

of the laser pointer shines into eyes, 
it may result in deterioration or loss 
of vision. When not in use, turn the 
laser pointer OFF. 

 

PROHIBITED 

Unit does not have an intrinsically 
safe rating.

 Do not use in areas 

requiring explosionproof equipment. 
Failure to observe this precaution 
could result in ignition or accidental 
explosions. 

 

PROHIBITED 

 
 
 

Do not disassemble or modify.

 

Failure to observe this precaution 
could result in injury, electrical 
shock, ignition or fire. 

 

DISASSEMBLY 

PROHIBITED 

Do not operate the buttons or 
stare at the screen while walking.

 

Failure to observe these precautions 
could lead to accidents such as 
tripping or collisions. 

 

PROHIBITED 

Be attentive to the background 
noises in the surrounding area.

 

When wearing the earphones, it 
becomes difficult to hear noises from 
the surrounding area. Operate the 
unit together with a person who is 
not wearing any earphones or take 
measures during operation to ensure 
advance awareness of potential 
dangers in the surrounding area. 

 

MANDATORY 

 

Do not place components in 
microwave ovens or high- 
pressure vessels, and do not 
place components in the vicinity 
of electromagnetic devices.

 Such 

handling could result in excessive 
heat generation, smoke, damage to 
circuitry, battery fluid leakage, 
rupture or ignition. 

 

PROHIBITED 

Do not subject the unit to strong 
impact and do not throw it.

 Such 

handling could result in leakage of 
the battery fluid, excessive heat 
generation, rupture, ignition or injury. 

 

PROHIBITED 

Do not turn the power ON while 
wearing the earphones.

 A sudden 

loud sound may be emitted, leading 
to hearing impairment or injury. After 
turning the power ON, check to see 
whether a loud sound is being output 
before putting on the earphones. 

 

PROHIBITED 

 
 
 

Make sure no foreign matter gets 
inside the unit.

 In areas with a great 

deal of metal powder or other fine 
foreign matter, take measure to 
prevent this foreign matter from 
getting inside the unit. The presence 
of such foreign matter could result in 
fire or unit failure. 

 

PROHIBITED 

Do not let the unit become wet.

 If 

liquid gets inside the unit, it may 
result in excessive heat generation, 
electrical shock or unit failure. Be 
careful of the location of use and the 
method of handling.
