spilled or objects have fallen into your player, when your player has been exposed to rain or moisture,
or when your player does not operate normally or has been dropped.
15. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your player to rain or moisture. Your player
should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

easy to remove.
17. Make sure that you allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space on all sides of your player to allow for

20. Dispose of batteries according to local hazardous waste regulations.
