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.

• Rechargeable batteries (not supplied) can be used.

• To use the rechargeable batteries, follow the instruction manual attached to the rechargeable batteries and charger (not supplied).

Dry cell batteries

To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.

• Align the , and . polarities properly when inserting the batteries.

• Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and new batteries.

• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.

• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.

• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

No altering or remodeling

This can cause malfunctioning.

No dropping or strong impacts

This may damage the unit.

Locations to be avoided

Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they can cause malfunctioning.

1. Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places.

2. Warehouses and other dusty places

3. Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.

Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also cause malfunctioning.

Even if your headphones or earphones are an 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.

Carrying dry cell batteries around

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 BE-

FORE 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.

When putting dry cell batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.

AC adaptor

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

• Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.

• Do not touch it with wet hands.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of it.

• Do not forcibly bend it.

• Be sure to connect only the specified AC adaptor with the unit.

• Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time.

Precautions

Safety Maintenance

1. Care of AC adaptor - The cord of the AC adaptor should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the AC adaptor if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug when connecting or disconnecting it.

2. Disconnect when not in use - When not in use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.

3. Batteries - If the unit is not used for a long period of time or is used only from an AC power source, remove all the batteries to prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Do not mix

(old and new ) batteries or different types of batteries.

Installation

(See page 5 for details.)

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Service

1. Damage Requiring Service - The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

(a) The AC adaptor is damaged; or

(b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or

(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or

(d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

■ Environment

1. Condensation - Moisture may form on the lens in the following conditions…

• immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• in a steamy or very humid room.

• when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one. If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. To correct this problem wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

■ Placement

1. Foreign Material - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

2. Magnetism - The unit should be situated away from equipment or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

3. Stacking - Do not place any objects on top of the unit.

How to use the AC plug adaptor (supplied)

Battery indicator

This indicator appears when the batteries are almost out of power.

Power will be cut off a short while later.

Note:

Turning off the Anti-Shock Protection EX will save the battery power more or less. For details, see “Anti-shock Protection EX” on page 4.

Notes:

• Even if the unit is turned off, small power is consumed as long as the AC adaptor is connected to the AC power outlet.

Preventing Accidental Operation (Hold mode)

This function causes the unit to ignore, accidental button presses.

Hold mode prevents the following:

• Powering on the unit accidentally (which can cause the batteries to go dead).

• Play being cut off unexpectedly.

To use the Hold mode

HOLD

OFF ON

• When the unit is in Hold mode, “HoLd” and “ follows.

” lights as

Power on : “ ” stays lit.

Power off : “HoLd” and “ ” lights up for a few seconds when 6 is pressed.

Note:

If the HOLD switch is set to the ON position, you cannot turn on the unit.

• To prevent the unit from powering on accidentally, set the

HOLD switch to the ON position while the unit is turned off.

• To prevent the unit from unexpected operation during play, set the HOLD switch to the ON position after you starts playing the disc.

Anti-Shock Protection EX

This function achieves excellent performance against sound interruption caused by vibrations. You will be able to enjoy listening to music during (not vigorous) jogging.

By utilizing the high-performance servo circuit, audio data will be stored in the memory ahead of time (up to 45 seconds worth).

Normally, this function is in effect.

• To delete the entire program

Turn off the unit.

To activate again

Press the ASP button.

Notes:

• During this operation, the disc rotates at a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data. This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.

• This function can be switched ON and OFF during playback.

However, this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because the disc’s rotational speed changes.

• To delete the entire program

While stopped, press STOP. Or turn off the unit.

Notes:

• During this operation, the disc rotates at a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data. This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.

• This function can be switched ON and OFF during playback.

However, this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because the disc’s rotational speed changes.
