PRECAUTIONS
Before using this unit, be sure to read the applic-
able items of the operating instructions and
these safety suggestions carefully.
Afterwards keep them handy for future refer-
ence. Take special care to follow the warnings
indicated on the unit itself as well as in the oper-
ating instructions.
Power source
1. Power Source—The unit should be connect-
ed to a power supply only of the type de-
scribed in the operating instructions or as
marked on the unit. if you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power com-
pany.
Do not use a car cigarette lighter socket to
power the unit.
2. Polarization—if the unit is equipped with a
polarized AC power plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), that plug will fit
into the AC outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. if the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete out-
let. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection—AC power supply
cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Never take hold
of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and al-
ways grasp the plug body when connecting
or disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets
and extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse Periods—lf the set is not being
used for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the AC power supply cord from the AC power
outlet and detach the battery pack to prevent
potential damage caused by battery leakage.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not
recommended by the unit manufacturer as
they may cause hazards.
Maintenance
Disconnect this unit from the AC outlet before
cleaning.
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent so-
lution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
AC adaptor
This AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V
and 240 V.
But
ein the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC power sup-
ply cord must be connected to a 120 V AC
power supply only.
eWhen connecting to an AC supply outside of
the U.S.A. or Canada, use a plug adaptor to
Suit the AC outlet configuration.
eWhen connecting to a supply of greater than
AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited to
the voltage of the AC supply and the rated cur-
rent of the AC adaptor.
Contact an electrical parts distributor for assis-
tance in selecting a suitable AC plug adaptor or
AC cord set.
1. Battery pack
{Lithium ion battery pack) (not included)
e Use this unit to recharge the battery pack.
Do not use the battery pack with equipment
other than the specified player.
eDo not use, charge or leave the battery
pack in locations where there is static elec-
tricity.
e Do not use the player outside if it is snowing
or raining. (The battery pack is not water-
proof.)
Do not get dirt, sand, liquids, or other for-
eign matter on the terminals.
@Do not touch the plug terminals (+ and —)
with metal objects.
eDo not disassemble, remodel, heat or throw
into fire.
2. Button-type battery (Lithium battery)
einsert with poles aligned.
eDo not touch the terminals {+ and —} with
metal objects.
eDo not disassemble, remodel, heat or throw
into fire.
Keep out of reach of children.
if any electrolyte should come into contact with
your hands or clothes, wash it off thoroughly with
water.
If any electrolyte should come into contact with
your eyes, never rub the eyes.
Rinse eyes thoroughly with water, and then con-
sult a doctor.
3. Disposing of the batteries
Check and follow your local regulations before
disposal.
Installation
1. Water and Moisture—Do not use this unit
near water—for example, near a bathtub,

washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. Damp
basements should also be avoided.
2. Condensation—Moisture may form on the
lens in the following conditions...
eimmediately after a heater has been turned
on.
ein a steamy or very humid room.
ewhen the unit is suddenly moved from a
cold environment to a warm one. If moisture
forms inside this unit, it may not operate
properly. To correct this problem wait about
one hour for the moisture to evaporate.
3. Heat—Never use or place this unit or battery
near a heat source. Do not leave it in an au-
tomobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long
time with the doors and windows closed as
this may deform the cabinet.
4. Foreign MateriaJ—Care should be taken so
that objects do not fall into and liquids are not
spilled into the unit. Do not subject this unit to
excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock.
1. Damage Requiring Service—The unit
should be serviced by qualified service per-
sonnel when:
(a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor
is damaged; or
(b} Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled
into the unit; or
{c) The unit has been exposed to water; or
(d) The unit does not appear to operate nor-
mally or exhibits a marked change in per-
formance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclo-
sure damaged.
2. Servicing—The user should not attempt to
service the unit beyond that described in the
operating instructions. All other servicing
should be referred to authorized service per-
sonnel.
For the address of an authorized servicen-
ter:
in the U.S.A., call 1-800-211-7262, e-mail
consumerproducts @panasonic.com, or
visit www.panasonic.com
In Canada, call 1-800-561-5505 or visit
www.panasonic.ca
3. Replacement parts—When parts need re-
placing, ensure the servicer uses parts spec-
ified by the manufacturer or parts that have
the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask
the servicer to perform safety checks to con-
firm that the unit is in proper working condi-
tion.
Listening caution
ibm
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a
high volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle.
It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situ-
ations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the
open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
eStan your volume control at a low setting.
eSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
eSet the dial and leave it there.
CAUTION:
The batteries used in this device may present
a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated.
Do not disassemble or incinerate the batter-
tes. Do not heat the batteries above the fol-
lowing temperatures.
Button-type battery 100 °C (212 °F)
Battery pack 60 °C (140 °F)
Do not recharge the button-type battery.
Replace only with Panasonic part number in-
dicated below:
Button-type battery (Lithium battery)
{for remote control} CR2025
Battery pack (Lithium ion battery pack)
For U.S.A.: CGP-H501A/1B
For Canada: CGP-H501C/1B
Use of other batteries may present a risk of
fire or explosion.
