CDs

Listening

EST. 1924

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.

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.

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.

∫

Allergies

Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the earphones or any other parts that directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Safety Maintenance

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected to a household AC outlet for extended periods can cause battery fluid leakage.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.

Clean with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.

Service

1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:

(a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged; or

(b)

(c)

Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or

The unit has been exposed to rain; or

(d)

(e)

The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.

3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.

Installation

∫ Placement

1. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.

2. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

3. Stacking—Do not place anything on top of this unit.

4. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

∫ Environment

1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight with the doors and windows closed as this may deform the cabinet.

Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5 eC (41 eF) or rise above 35 eC (95 eF).

AC adaptor

This AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V and 240 V.

But

≥ In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC power supply cord 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.

≥ When connecting to a supply of greater than AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited to the voltage of the AC supply and the rated current of the AC adaptor.

≥ Contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance in selecting a suitable AC plug adaptor or AC cord set.

≥ Depending on how you create MP3 files, they may not play in the order you numbered them or may not play at all.
