moisture. Moisture can cause electric shocks with any electronic device.
6. Follow these tips to keep the player working well for a long time:

Do not allow children to use the player unsupervised.
Never force any connector into the ports of the player or your computer. Make sure
your connectors are the identical shape and size before you connect.
