Precautions

Safety

1. Care of AC adaptor

- The cord of the AC adaptor should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by

items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the AC

adaptor if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug when

connecting or disconnecting it.

2. Disconnect when not in use

- When not in use, be sure to dis-

connect the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.

3. Batteries

- If the unit is not used for a long period of time or is

used only from an AC power source, remove all the batteries to

prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Do not mix

(old and new ) batteries or different types of batteries.

Installation

I Environment

1. Condensation

- Moisture may form on the lens in the follow-

ing conditions...

· immediately after a heater has been turned on.

· in a steamy or very humid room.

· when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to

a warm one. If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not op-

erate properly. To correct this problem wait about one hour

for the moisture to evaporate.

I Placement

1. Foreign Material

- Care should be taken so that objects do not

fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject

this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or

shock.

2. Magnetism

- The unit should be situated away from equipment

or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

3. Stacking

- Do not place any objects on top of the unit.

Maintenance

(See page 5 for details.)

Specifications

Cautions

Listening precautions

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 discon-

tinue 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 an open-air type de-

signed 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 BE-

FORE 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:

· Set the dial and leave it there.

Rechargeable batteries

· Rechargeable batteries (not supplied) can be used.

· To use the rechargeable batteries, follow the instruction manual

attached to the rechargeable batteries and charger (not sup-

plied).

Dry cell batteries

To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed

the following points.

· Align the , and . polarities properly when inserting the bat-

teries.

· Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and

new batteries.

· Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a

long period of time.

· Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, dis-

assemble or subject them to excessive heat.

· Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Carrying dry cell batteries around

When putting dry cell batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no

other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with

them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which, in

turn, may cause a fire.

AC adaptor

· Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dan-

gerous.

· Do not touch it with wet hands.

· Do not place heavy objects on top of it.

· Do not forcibly bend it.

· Be sure to connect only the specified AC adaptor with the unit.

· Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is

not going to be used for a long time.

Unit

No altering or remodeling

This can cause malfunctioning.

No dropping or strong impacts

This may damage the unit.

Locations to be avoided

Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they can

cause malfunctioning.

1. Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places.

2. Warehouses and other dusty places

3. Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.

Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for

long periods of time

This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also cause mal-

functioning.

When purchasing AC adaptor /

AC plug adaptor

Be absolutely sure to purchase the AC adaptor / AC plug adaptor

designed especially for this unit.

AC adaptor: AA-R4513 (for the U.S.A. and Canada)
