California Proposition 65 Statement
WARNING: Handling this product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Explanatory Note: California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires special product labeling for products containing certain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Creative has chosen to provide
a warning based on its knowledge about the presence of one or more listed chemicals without
attempting to evaluate the level of exposure. With Creative's products, the exposure may be below
the Proposition 65 level of concern, or could even be zero. However, out of an abundance of caution,
Creative has elected to place the Proposition 65 warning on its products.
Déclaration de la Proposition 65 de la Californie
AVERTISSEMENT: La manipulation de ce produit peut vous exposer à des produits chimiques qui
sont reconnus par l'État de la Californie comme pouvant provoquer le cancer, des anomalies con-
génitales ou d'autres effets nuisibles à la reproduction.
Veuillez vous laver les mains après l'avoir manipuler.
Note explicative: La Proposition 65 (California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986) de la Californie sur les matières dangereuses et l'eau potable exige un étiquetage spécial pour
les produits contenant certains produits chimiques qui sont reconnus par l'État de la Californie
comme pouvant provoquer le cancer, des anomalies congénitales ou d'autres effets nuisibles à la
reproduction. Creative a choisi d'inclure une mise en garde s'appuyant sur sa connaissance de la
présence d'un ou de plusieurs de ces produits chimiques sans essayer d'en évaluer le niveau d'e-
xposition. Pour les produits de Creative, le niveau d'exposition peut être inférieur au niveau critique
établi par la Proposition 65 ou même être nul. Néanmoins, par souci extrême de prudence, Creative
a choisi de placer l'avertissement de la Proposition 65 sur ses produits.

Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the player is used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be dam-
aging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and
have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
lLimit the amount of time you use the player at high volume.
lAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
lTurn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

California Proposition 65 Statement
WARNING: Handling this product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Explanatory Note: California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires special product labeling for products containing certain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Creative has chosen to provide
a warning based on its knowledge about the presence of one or more listed chemicals without
attempting to evaluate the level of exposure. With Creative's products, the exposure may be below
the Proposition 65 level of concern, or could even be zero. However, out of an abundance of caution,
Creative has elected to place the Proposition 65 warning on its products.
Déclaration de la Proposition 65 de la Californie
AVERTISSEMENT: La manipulation de ce produit peut vous exposer à des produits chimiques qui
sont reconnus par l'État de la Californie comme pouvant provoquer le cancer, des anomalies con-
génitales ou d'autres effets nuisibles à la reproduction.
Veuillez vous laver les mains après l'avoir manipuler.
Note explicative: La Proposition 65 (California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986) de la Californie sur les matières dangereuses et l'eau potable exige un étiquetage spécial pour
les produits contenant certains produits chimiques qui sont reconnus par l'État de la Californie
comme pouvant provoquer le cancer, des anomalies congénitales ou d'autres effets nuisibles à la
reproduction. Creative a choisi d'inclure une mise en garde s'appuyant sur sa connaissance de la
présence d'un ou de plusieurs de ces produits chimiques sans essayer d'en évaluer le niveau d'e-
xposition. Pour les produits de Creative, le niveau d'exposition peut être inférieur au niveau critique
établi par la Proposition 65 ou même être nul. Néanmoins, par souci extrême de prudence, Creative
a choisi de placer l'avertissement de la Proposition 65 sur ses produits.

Safety Information
Refer to the following information to use your product safely, and to reduce the chance of electric
shock, short-circuiting, damage, fire, hearing impairment or other hazards. Improper handling may

lThe socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Earphones
lWhen a conductive apparatus such as earphones, is used in close proximity with a CRT television or
CRT monitor, the latter may emit an electrostatic discharge. This electrostatic discharge can be felt as
a static shock. While this static shock is usually harmless, it is good practice to avoid close contact
with CRT devices when using earphones.
lDo not listen to audio on your earbuds or headphones at high volume for prolonged periods of time as
hearing loss may result. For users in the United States, go to www.hei.org for more information.
lDo not listen to your audio device at high volume when driving, cycling or crossing the road, espe-
cially in heavy traffic, or in any other traffic condition where such use will hinder safe travel on the
roads. We recommend that consumers be extremely cautious when using this device on the road.
Embedded Battery
lDo not attempt to remove the embedded battery.
The product must be disposed of according to local environmental regulations. To replace the battery,
return your product to your regional support office. For product service information, go to www.cr-
eative.com.
lDo not expose to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire or the like.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by incorrect types.
Bluetooth Device
lThe short wave radio frequency signals of a Bluetooth device may impair the operation of other elec-
tronic and medical devices.
lSwitch off the device where it is prohibited. Do not use the device in medical facilities, aircraft, refu-
eling points, close to automatic doors, automatic fire alarms or other automatically controlled devices.
lKeep this device at least 20 cm from pacemakers and other medical devices. Radio waves may impair
the operation of pacemakers and other medical devices.
Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the player is used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be

damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening
and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
lLimit the amount of time you use the player at high volume.
lAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
lTurn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
