Do not keep this unit and magnetized cards (bank
cards, commuter passes, etc.) close together.
≥
The speaker does not have magnetic shielding. Do not

devices easily influenced by magnetism.
∫
Batteries
≥
Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use
if the covering has been peeled off.
≥
Align the poles
+
and
-
correctly when inserting the
batteries.
≥
Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new
batteries.
≥
Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit
for a long time.
≥
Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or sub-
ject to excessive heat.
≥
Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
≥
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage
which can damage items the fluid contacts and may
cause a fire. If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, con-
sult your dealer. Wash thoroughly with water if elec-
trolyte comes in contact with any part of your body.
≥
Keep out of the reach of small children. Accidental
swallowing of batteries can result in stomach and
intestinal damage.
∫
Allergies
Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the
earphones or any other parts that directly contact your
skin. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic
reactions.
∫
Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high vol-
ume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extend-
ed play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue 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 discontin-
ue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air
type designed 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 BEFORE 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 comfort-
ably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥
Leave it there.
