THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.:
Listening caution
CAUTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter-
ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-
ation’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound
come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and re-
ceiver.
•
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
•
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.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
•
To establish a safe level:
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
would void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
•
•
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera-
tion is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
•
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
