particular, do not use or keep the unit in following places.
• in a high humidity area such as a bathroom
• near a heater
• in an area exposed to direct sunlight (e.g., inside a parked car, where it can
become extremely hot)
• near sources of strong magnetism, such as televisions, speakers, or magnets
• where there is a lot of movement or vibration, such as on a car dashboard or
an unstable shelf
• Do not open the battery compartment with wet hands.
• Wipe the unit thoroughly before inserting batteries and after use.
• Do not soak the unit in water.
• Before connecting the AC adaptor or the headphones etc., be sure to confirm
the power is off.
For safety
• Use only an AC adaptor whose rated output is DC 5-6 V, 250-300 mA.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. Laser rays from the optical pickup are
dangerous to the eyes.
• Make sure that pins or other foreign object do not get inside the player.

because music could suddenly start at high volume. Turn the volume control to
the lowest level before starting playback and slowly turn it up to the desired
level.

• Do not wear the headphones while driving or cycling. It may create a traffic
hazard.
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations, such as walking, jogging, etc.
