							WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
PRODUCT DAMAGE, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS
TO RAIN, MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND
THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS
VASES, SHALL BE PLACED ON THE APPARATUS. 
Marking sign is located on bottom of the unit.
The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible
or the mains plug or an appliance coupler shall remain readily operable.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.
CAUTION: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful 
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the
user’s authority to operate this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful 
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

∫Water Resistant (Splash Proof)The main unit and headphones are splash proof, however damage may result if water gets
inside them.
≥Do not use in water or splash with salt water or a lot of water.
≥Wipe off water, dust or sand from the unit before opening and closing the lid.
≥Slide the lock firmly to close the lid.
≥Insert the rubber caps into the headphone and DC IN jacks when not using the unit.
∫Batteries≥Do not peel off the covering on the batteries and do not use if the covering has been peeled
off.
≥Align the poles iand jcorrectly when inserting the batteries.
≥Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries.
≥Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.
≥Do not throw into a fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive heat.
≥Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
≥When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects such as necklaces are
placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which can cause a
fire.
∫CDs≥Do not use irregularly shaped CDs.
≥Do not use non-specification CDs.
≥Do not use CDs printed with label printers available on the market.
≥Do not use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or with adhesive exuding from
under labels and stickers.
∫Listening
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.
∫AllergiesDiscontinue use if you experience discomfort with the earphones or any other parts that directly
contact your skin. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.
