DEAR JENSEN CUSTOMER  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only  
the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can  
maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.  
This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association'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.  
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 comfortably and clearly,  
and without distortion.  
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.  
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and  
enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until  
it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to  
excessive noise.  
Customer's Record:  
The serial number of this product is found on its bottom cover. You should  
note the serial number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent  
record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.
