Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To change a
fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI
approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug
contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3 Amp. If a plug without
a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 3 Amp.
Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code:
blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not
correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
•Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured
black.
•Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
•Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug,
marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is
clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

rechargeable battery pack.
•Make sure that the input voltage of the AC adaptor is in
line with the local voltage. Otherwise, the AC adaptor and
unit may be damaged.
•Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands to prevent
electric shock.
•When connecting with car power (cigarette lighter) adap-
tor, be sure the input voltage of the adaptor is identical with
car voltage.
•Unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet when the unit is
not used for long periods of time.
•Hold the plug to disconnect the AC adaptor. Do not pull
the power cord.
3General information
Please always use supplied AC/DC adaptor (AY4195)
Safety and maintenance
•Do not disassemble the unit for laser rays are dangerous to eyes.
Any service should be done by qualified service personnel.
•Unplug the AC adaptor to cut the power if liquid or
objects get inside the unit.
•Take care not to drop the unit or subject it to strong

•Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammo-
nia, benzene, or abrasives as these may harm the player.
•Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Do not place any sources of danger on the appartus (e.g.
liquid filled objects,lighted candles)
•Do not touch the lens!
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 pro-
longed 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 earhones 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” lev-
els, can also cause hearing loss.
•Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appro-
priate 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 vehi-
cle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard
and is illegal in many areas.
•Important (for models with by-packed headphones): Philips
guarantees compliance with the maximum sound power of its
audio players as determined by relevant regulatory bodies only
with the original model of provided headphones. In case this
one needs replacement, we recommend that you contact your
retailer to order a model identical to that of the original pro-
vided by Philips.
•Traffic safety: do not use while driving or cycling as you may
cause an accident.
When the player is in use for a long period of time, the
surface will be heated.This is normal.
CAUTION Use of controls or adjustments or perform-
ance of procedures other than herein may result in haz-
ardous radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.
