This ‘bolt of lightning’ indicates uninsulated  
material within your unit may cause an electrical  
shock. For the safety of everyone in your  
household, please do not remove product  
covering.  
The ‘exclamation point’ calls attention to  
features for which you should read the enclosed  
literature closely to prevent operating and

carbon and alkaline, etc.).  
Hearing safety  
Listen at a moderate volume.  
Remove batteries when the unit is not  
used for a long time.  
Using headphones at a high volume can  
impair your hearing.This product can  
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may  
cause hearing loss for a normal person,  
even for exposure less than a minute.The  
higher decibel ranges are offered for those  
that may have already experienced some  
hearing loss.  
o Apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.  
p Do not place any sources of danger on  
the apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects,  
lighted candles).  
q This product may contain lead and  
mercury. Disposal of these materials  
may be regulated due to environmental  
considerations. For disposal or recycling  
information, please contact your local  
authorities or the Electronic Industries  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your  
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher  
volumes of sound. So after prolonged  
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually  
be loud and harmful to your hearing.To  
guard against this, set your volume to a safe  
level before your hearing adapts and leave  
it there.  
To establish a safe volume level:  
Caution  
Set your volume control at a low setting.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can  
hear it comfortably and clearly, without  
distortion.  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of  
procedures other than herein may result in hazardous  
radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.  
Listen for reasonable periods of time:  
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at  
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing  
loss.  
Warning  
Never remove the casing of this unit.  
Never lubricate any part of this unit.  
Place this unit on a flat, hard and stable surface.  
Never place this unit on other electrical equipment.  
Only use this unit indoors. Keep this unit away from  
water, moisture and liquid-filled objects.  
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably  
and take appropriate breaks.  
Be sure to observe the following guidelines  
when using your headphones.  
Keep this unit away from direct sunlight, naked flames  
or heat.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for  
reasonable periods of time.  
Never look into the laser beam inside the unit.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your  
hearing adapts.  
Do not turn up the volume so high that  
you can’t hear what’s around you.  
You should use caution or temporarily  
discontinue use in potentially hazardous  
situations. Do not use headphones while  
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,  
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic  
hazard and is illegal in many areas.  
Warning  
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used  
as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall  
remain readily operable.
