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 interfer-
ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is en-
couraged 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.
FCC Caution:
≥
To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions.
≥
Use only the provided shielded interface cables with ferrite cores when connecting to computer.
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.
Responsible Party:
Matsushita Electric Corporation of America
One Panasonic Way Secaucus, NJ, 07094 USA
Telephone No.: 1-800-211-7262
This product may receive radio interference caused by mobile telephones or other products
during operation. If such interference is apparent, please increase separation between the
product and the mobile telephone or other product.
Care and Use
∫
Unit
≥
Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of heat. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to
direct sunlight for a long period of time with the doors and windows closed.
≥
To avoid product damage, do not expose this product to rain, water or other liquids.
≥
Do not keep this unit and magnetized cards (bank cards, commuter passes, etc.) close together.
≥
The speaker does not have magnetic shielding. Do not place it near televisions, personal comput-
ers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism.
∫
Batteries
≥
Do not peel off the covering on battery and do not use if the covering has been peeled off.
≥
Align the poles
+
and
-
correctly when inserting the battery.
≥
Remove the battery if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.
≥
Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive heat.
≥
Do not attempt to recharge dry cell battery.
≥
When carrying battery in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects such as necklaces are placed
together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which can cause a fire. For
safety, carry the rechargeable battery in the battery carrying case.
∫
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.
∫
Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against con-
tinuous 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.
