IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PRODUCT
DAMAGE, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN, MOISTURE,
DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH
LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHALL BE PLACED ON THE
APPARATUS.
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
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.
CAUTION!
THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF
PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

CAUTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user’s
authority to operate this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
∫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.
2. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5 eC (41 eF) or rise above 35 eC (95 eF).
Maintenance
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean with a damp cloth.

∫CDs
≥Do not use irregularly shaped CDs.
≥Do not use non-specification discs.
≥Do not use CDs printed with label printers available on the market.
≥Do not use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or with adhesive exuding from
under labels and stickers.
∫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.
