2 Disposing of the batteries
EST. 1924
I
Check and follow your local regulations before disposal.
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended 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.
A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers
the product you have purchased.
At the end of its useful life, under various state
and local laws, it is illegal to dispose of this
battery into your municipal waste stream.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information
on how to recycle this battery.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue
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.
AC adaptor
This AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V and 240 V.
But
● In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC adaptor must be
connected to a 120 V AC power supply only.
●
When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or
Canada, use a plug adaptor to suit the AC outlet configuration.
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:
● Leave it there.
Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while
using it. The unit can become hot and cause burns.
(Bottom of product)
WARNING
DRIVER MUST NOT OPERATE OR VIEW THIS UNIT
WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

even if it is not being used, and if a battery pack is attached to this unit, it will start recharging which uses more power.
–Do not use the Car DC Adaptor for long periods when the engine is not running.
● Turn the unit off before stopping the engine while using Car DC Adaptor, otherwise resume play (→ 8) may not work.
● Leave some slack in the cord.
● No responsibility will be taken for damage that occurs due to faulty installation.
You can enjoy audio through your car audio system by connecting a car stereo cassette adaptor
(not included) to the headphone jack on the left side of this unit.
