When carrying the player and a battery in
your pocket, do not put metals like coins or
keys together in it. (This may cause to set a
fire because of the friction between the
metals and the battery)

without permission is a violation of a
copyright law.
We shall not be liable for the losses of data
in the player by users’ carelessness. (Don’t
forget to back up important data)
Earphones should have a long strap. When
you wear headphones, the strap should be
