Before use
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your
equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive noise.
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:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfort-
ably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you
listening for a lifetime.

Use of Batteries
• If this unit is not used for a long period of time or is
used only from an AC power source, remove all the
batteries to prevent potential damage due to
possible battery leakage.
• Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the
batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries.
• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow
them to contact flame or water.
• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as
necklaces.
• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
• Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can damage other items, cause
damage to the unit, and may cause a fire through short-
circuiting or electrolyte leakage.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact
with any part of your body.
