Listening

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

2.

Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5
