Specifications
∫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.
