future reference.

1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as

apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce 
heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized 

or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two 
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-
type plug has two blades and a third grounding 
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are 
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does 
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or 

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 

receptacles, and the point where they exit from 
the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by 

the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, 

tripod, bracket, or table 
specified by the 
manufacturer, or sold with the 
apparatus. When a cart is 
used, use caution when 
moving the cart/apparatus 
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or 

when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 

Servicing is required when the apparatus has 
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply 
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled 
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the 
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, 
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

To prevent damage
Avoid the following;

≥

Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.

≥

Pressing the LCD.

≥

Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup.

Do not use the unit in the following places;

≥

Sandy places such as beaches.

≥

On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers.

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous 
extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside 
sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
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 comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

≥

Leave it there.
