i
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, re-
duce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized ve-
hicle. lt may create a traffic hazard and is il-
legal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or tem-
porarily discontinue use in potentially haz-
ardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are
the open-air types 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 vol-
umes of sound. So what sounds “normal”
can actually be loug and harmful to your
hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equip-
ment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
To establish a safe lavet:
«Start your volume control at a low setting.
eSlowly 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.
If the surfaces are dirty

cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft

a weak detergent sotution.
sNaver use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine
to clean this unit.
eBefore using chemically treated cloth, read
the instructions that came with the cloth
caretuily.

Clean the heads regularly to assure good
quality playback.
