favorite songs  
to the “pavit.”  
Use the supplied “Music  
Transfer pavit Edition”  
software to send MP3 files  
from your computer to the  
“pavit.”  
What is “pavit”?  
The “pavit” is a compact, lightweight, new-generation USB storage media* with a large  
storage capacity. Although the “pavit” is dedicated to “pavit”-compatible devices, it can  
also be used as an external storage media for your computer, since it connects directly to  
the USB port, a standard interface for personal computers.  
* Storage media is a device that can store data, such as floppy disk, hard disk and magneto-optic disk  
(MO).  
The “pavit” complies with USB2.0 (High-Speed USB).

• under direct sunlight or near heat sources  
• in a car with its windows closed  
(especially in summer)  
• where it will be subjected to excessive  
moisture such as in a bathroom

slightly moistened with water or a mild  
detergent solution.  
Headphones  
Road Safety  
Do not use headphones while driving,  
cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle.  
It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in  
many areas. It can also be potentially  
dangerous to play your player at a high  
volume while walking, especially at  
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise  
extreme caution or discontinue use in  
potentially hazardous situations.  
Note  
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring  
powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it  
may mar the finish of the casing.  
Cleaning the headphone plug  
If the headphone plug is dirty, it may cause  
noise or sound skipping. To ensure good  
sound quality, clean the headphone plug  
periodically with a soft, dry cloth.  
Preventing hearing damage  
Avoid using the headphones at a high  
volume. Hearing experts advise against  
continuous, loud and extended play. If you  
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the  
volume or discontinue use.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult your  
nearest Aiwa dealer.  
Consideration for others  
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This  
will allow you to hear outside sounds and to  
be considerate to the people around you.
