vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard

and is illegal in many areas. It can also

be potentially dangerous to play your

headphones at high volume while

walking, especially at pedestrian

crossings. You should exercise

extreme caution or discontinue use in

potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones at 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.

Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level.

This will allow you to hear outside

sounds and to be considerate to

people around you.

Cautions on Water-resistance

This radio is designed so that it can be

used with slight exposure to rain,

snow and other forms of moisture, but

there are several points on which

caution should be observed.

· Do not allow it to come in contact

with large amounts of water.

· Do not immerse it in water.

· If water should get on it or if it

should fall into water, take it out

immediately and wipe it off with a

dry cloth. The interior of the

battery compartment has no

water-resistance. The battery may

corrode, so wipe out the interior of

the battery compartment as follows.

Open or close the battery

compartment with dry hands in a

place without exposure to any

water.

Wipe off the battery and the

inside of the battery compart-

ment. Give special attention to the
