Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
•Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in
decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
•Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and
leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
•Set your volume control at a low setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
•Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
•Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.
•Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
•Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.
•Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
•You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
•Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
CD player and CD handling
•If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.
•The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!
•Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation on the
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the
lens but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
•Always close the CD door to avoid dust on
the lens.
•To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as
they may damage the disc.
•Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.
Safety information
•Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface
so that the system does not tilt.
•Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
•The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip-
ping or splashing.
•Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary
to prevent heat build-up.
•Do not cover the ventilation openings with
items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur-
tains, etc.
•No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
•No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.
•The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
•To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use
any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammo-
