General Maintenance and Safety
Using Headphones Safely
m
Set the volume to the lowest level before you begin listening, then
carefully adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
m
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level. Although a volume level is comfortable, it
might still damage your hearing.
m
Do not listen at high-volume levels; extended high-volume listening
can cause permanent hearing loss.
m
Do not turn up the volume during a quiet musical passage; you might
damage your hearing when a sudden, loud passage occurs.
m
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or while
riding a bicycle; this can create a safety hazard and is illegal in some
areas. Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear
outside sounds, they still present a safety hazard.
Using Batteries Safely
m
Keep batteries away from children.
m
Discard used batteries according to applicable local and national
regulations. Utilize established community battery recycling programs
where available.
m
Kodak recommends KODAK PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries or KODAK
Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries.
m
If you elect to use alkaline batteries in the mc3 device, you will obtain
better performance from “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries, such
as KODAK PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries. These types of batteries last
more than twice as long in digital applications as ordinary alkaline
batteries. Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable; do not attempt to
recharge them in a battery charger.
