1.4 Safety Instructions
Please read the safety instructions carefully prior to using the device. Keep the
instructions in an easily accessible location for further use.
Warning signs
The lightning flash with
arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated dangerous voltage
within the product’s enclosure
the may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
ALERT: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not remove the back cover. No
user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence
of important and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the
appliance.
Precautions concerning power supply:
- Do not plug many devices into one electric socket. This may lead to an overcharge,
combustion or electrical trauma.
- Do not touch the plug with wet hands. This may lead to electrical trauma, short circuiting
and combustion.
- When connecting an electric cable, make sure that the cable is protected from damaging
and is not being subject to any tension.
- It is essential to use the recommended power unit type with characteristics that comply
with the specification.
- If you are not planning to use the media player for a long time, you should disconnect it
from the power system in terms of safety and energy saving. Keep in mind, that even being
in standby mode the device consumes electric energy.
- You should not connect the device to the power system immediately after bringing it from
a cold surrounding to a warm one. Unpack the device and leave it in the warm environment
for 2 to 3 hours to let the condensate evaporate from the inner parts of the device.
Effect of radio interference and magnetic field:
- In case of absence of adequate screening virtually any electronic device becomes subject
to radio interference. In some conditions the radio interferences may affect the operation of
the media player.
- The iconBIT media player is designed in compliance with the FCC/CE standard, as well as
the following statements:
a. This player does not produce any harmful interference or emission;
b. When placed close to a source of strong radio interference the player may not be able to
function properly.
- Do not locate the device close to sources of strong magnetic fields. Such field may
damage data on your hard disk. In such case we will not be responsible for integrity of data
on your hard disk.
Installation precautions:
- The device is designed for indoor usage. Do not expose it to direct sunlight; do not locate
it next to any heat sources, heaters, radiators or refrigerating equipment. The operational
temperature should be within the range of +5°Сto +35°С.
- Protect the device from getting wet as this may lead to combustion or electrical trauma.
- Do not place any containers with liquid on top or next to the player.
- Do not use the device in high humidity, e.g. in a bathroom or a swimming pool.

iconBIT XDS8003D User Manual!English

- When installing the device in an enclosed space, make sure there is enough space for the
device to cool via heat emission. Do not cover vent holes of the device, so that sufficient
amounts of air could enter the device body.
- Do not place the device on an uneven or unsteady surface. Do not drop the device and
protect it from other objects getting dropped onto it.
Comments on the use of the remote control (RC):
-Point the RC directly at the infrared receiver of the device. Otherwise the RC may not
function properly.
-Handle the RC with care. In case of loss of RC, contact the service centre to order a new
one. A large portion of functions of the device is accessible only via the RC.
Operation precautions:
- Other devices and associated equipment should be connected via audio and video cables
only when the devices are switched off.
- Do not use the device during thunder to prevent breakdown.
- Do not use the player together with any devices, which it does not support – this may lead
to player breakdown.
- Do not push the player buttons to hard.
- When disconnecting the device from PC USB hub, always use the “Safely Remove
Hardware” functionality to prevent data loss.
Using hard disk drive (HDD) – precautions:
- If the device can be provided with an internal HDD for data storage, the device should not
be exposed to severe external impact. This may lead to HDD or player outage.
- Make sure the HDD has cooled down prior to extracting it. The heat emitted by the HDD
may burn the skin.
- The manufacturer is not responsible for loss of personal or any other confidential
information stored on your HDD resulting from physical impact, electric shock, voltage
jumps, formatting etc.
- We recommend periodic backup copying to prevent data loss.
- In case of HDD productivity slowdown or other problems we recommend performing a
check for bad sectors on the HDD and complete defragmentation.
Maintenance:
- When cleaning the device, always unplug the power cable. Use a soft cotton tissue or
similar, that does not produce electrostatic charge.
- Never use gasoline or any other dissolvent for cleaning the player, as they might damage
the device.
- In case of severe dirtying wet wipes for computers may be used.
Comments on equipment repairs:
- It is forbidden for users to modify the design of the device. Do not disassemble the player.
In case of device breakdown due to self-performed repairs or modification, no warranty
service will be provided.
- Should any malfunction appear, the device must be taken to an authorized service centre,
where personnel will perform diagnostics and repair.
Do not dispose the device. The product is recyclable. Utilization
requirements should be met. In some countries utilization of electronic
devices is in the scope of specialized guidelines; please refer to relevant
local organizations for additional information.
