AC adaptor
This AC adaptor operates on AC between
100 V and 240 V.
But
≥ In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC adaptor
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.
The socket outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and easily accessible.
The mains plug of the power supply cord shall
remain readily operable.
To completely disconnect this apparatus from
the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply
cord plug from AC receptacle.

O
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.
Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long
time while using it. The unit can become
hot and cause burns.
To prevent damage
Avoid the following:
≥ Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.
≥ Pressing the LCD.
≥ Touching the lens and other parts of the
laser pickup.
Do not use the unit in the following places:
≥ Sandy places such as beaches.
≥ On top of cushions, sofas, or hot
equipment such as amplifiers.
Do not leave in an unventilated automobile or
exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures.
