Advarsel:Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning
når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.
Undgå utsættelse for stråling.
Luokan 1 laserlaite
Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen
muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla
tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän
turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle
näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.
Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei
saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra
nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor
tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket
sidder i stikkontakten.
Huom.Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty
toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti
sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkko-
osa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina
silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

Klass 1 laseraparat
Varning! Om apparaten används på annat
sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats,
kan användaren utsättas för osynlig
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för
laserklass 1.
Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från
nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför
ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen
sitter i vägguttaget.

General Information
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome
to Philips!
Safety Information
●
Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer.
To fully benefit from the support that Philips
welcome.
This product complies with the radio
interference requirements of the European
Community.
●
●
Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler
is used as the disconnet device, the disconnet
device shall remain readily operable.
Supplied accessories
– 2 speaker boxes
– remote control
– MW loop antenna
●
The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
●
●
Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be easily reached.
Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
●
●
The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
●
●
●
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
Disposal of your old product
Your product is designed and
manufactured with high quality
materials and components,
which can be recycled and
reused.
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.
When this crossed-out
wheeled bin symbol is attached to a product it
means the product is covered by the European
Directive 2002/96/EC
●
●
●
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
Please inform yourself about the local separate
collection system for electrical and electronic
products.
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed)
shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
Please act according to your local rules and do
not dispose of your old products with your
normal household waste.The correct disposal of
your old product will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the environment and
human health.
When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.

General Information
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your headphones.
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
●
●
●
●
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
●
Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing. This product can produce sounds
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for
a normal person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered
for those that may have already experienced
some hearing loss.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
●
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing. To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there.
●
Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
To establish a safe volume level:
●
●
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
●
●
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
