Precautions

On safety

• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into

the CD player, unplug it and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.

• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC

IN 4.5 V (external power input) jack.

On the CD player

• Keep the lens on the CD player clean and

do not touch it. If you do so, the lens may
be damaged and the CD player will not
operate properly.

• Do not put any heavy object on top of the

CD player. The CD player and the CD may
be damaged.

• Do not leave the CD player in a location

near heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,
moisture, rain, mechanical shock,
unleveled surface, or in a car with its
windows closed.

• If the CD player causes interference to the

radio or television reception, turn off the
CD player or move it away from the radio
or television.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g.,

heart, square, star) cannot be played on this
CD player. Attempting to do so may
damage the CD player. Do not use such
discs.

On handling CDs

• To keep the CD clean, handle it by its

edge.  Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or tape onto the CD.

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air ducts.  Do not
leave the CD in a car parked under direct
sunlight.

On headphones/earphones

Road safety

Do not use headphones/earphones while
driving, cycling, or operating any motorized
vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in some areas.  It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your headsets
at high volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise
extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones/earphones at high
volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous, loud and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.

Consideration for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This
will allow you to hear outside sounds and to
be considerate to the people around you.

On the water resistance

• Before unfastening the buckle to open the

lid, be sure to wipe off water, dust or sand
on the exterior of the unit. Open and close
the lid where water or sand cannot fall in
the unit, and make sure that your hands are
dry. If water or sand falls in the unit,
trouble may occur.

• When closing the lid, check that there is no

dust or sand on the rubber packing around
the lid. Then close the lid firmly with the
buckle.

• The supplied headphones are not meant to

be immersed in water or come in
continuous contact with water. If they are
accidentally dropped into water or get wet,
dry them with a soft cloth. Never use an
electric hair dryer.
