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.

 

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with 

the type recommended by the manufacturer.

 

• When disposing of the batteries, please contact your local authorities or 

dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.

interference may occur, generating noise. Try turning off the power of the nearby 
radio, TV, video, etc.

 

• If the unit is suddenly transported from a cool place to a warm place, it may 

not operate normally. This is because condensation could have occurred in the 
operating part of the unit. With the power turned off, leave the unit as it is until it 
conforms to room temperature. After about 60 minutes, it is restored to normal.

 

• Moving a mobile phone close to the unit can cause noise. Use the unit away from 

any mobile phone.

• The runtime may become shorter if the rechargeable batteries are charged for the 

first time or after hours of nonuse. They are restored to normal after repeated use.

 

• When battery runtime is extremely shorter than normal even if it is charged, it would 

be considered to be at the end of its life.
The built-in rechargeable batteries are designed specifically for this unit. Please 
contact the sales store where you bought the unit for replacement of the
