1.3 Power Sources
This unit operates on a supplied AC adapter or car adapter.
• Make sure that the input voltage of the AC adaptor is in line with
the local voltage. Otherwise, the AC adaptor and unit maybe dam-
aged.
• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands to prevent electric
shock.

1.4 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 somehearing 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.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
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 head-
phones:
• 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 poten-
tially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle,
cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is ille-
gal in many areas.
• Important (for models with by-packed headphones): Philips guar-
antees compliance with the maximum sound power of itsaudio
players as determined by relevant regulator y bodies onlywith the
original model of provided headphones. In case this oneneeds
replacement, we recommend that you contact yourretailer to
order a model identical to that of the originalprovided by Philips.
• Traffic safety: do not use while driving or cycling as you maycause
an accident.
