06Warnings
WEEE
This appliance is labelled in accordance
with European Directive 2002/96/EG
concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the
framework for the return and
recycling of used appliances.
Sound levels
Your hearing is very important to you and to us,
so please take care when using this Speaker
Dock. It is strongly recommended that you follow
the listed guidelines in order to prevent possible
damage or loss of hearing.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous
loud sounds and will give the impression that the
volume has in fact been reduced. What seems
normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard
against this before your hearing adapts, set
the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear
comfortably and clearly and without distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is
irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears
indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable listening
level, do not increase the sound level.
