Safety & Maintenance  
(See 4)  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,  
shall be placed on the apparatus.  
Safety & maintenance  
information  
Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-  
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.  
so that the system does not tilt.  
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to  
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused  
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use  
any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammo-  
nia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm  
the housing.  
The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip-  
ping or splashing.  
Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of  
15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation  
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary  
to prevent heat build-up.  
Excessive sound pressure from earphones  
and headphones can cause hearing loss.  
Do not cover the ventilation openings with  
items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur-  
tains, etc.  
Battery shall not be exposed to excessive  
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.  
Hearing Safety  
Listen at a moderate volume.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.  
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.  
Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may  
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Important notes for users in the U.K.  
Mains plug  
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of  
plug proceed as follows:  
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.  
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.  
3. Refit the fuse cover.  
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an  
appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a  
value of 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board  
should not be greater than 3 Amp.  
Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it  
be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.  
How to connect a plug  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N),  
brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings iden-  
tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.  
Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.  
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or  
coloured green (or green and yellow).  
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the  
sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.
