RQT899310 11RQT8993PrecautionsThe unitThis unit uses the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band (Bluetooth). However other wireless equipment may use the same frequency. Be sure to take note of the following to prevent radio wave interference from other equipment.Restriction of useFor use only in your country.Range of useThe range of use is up to approximately 10 m (30 ft.). The range may be less depending on the structure of the building, the environment and any obstacles between the receiver and the transmitter. Such obstacles as reinforced concrete walls and metal doors, in particular, obstruct the transmitter’s signals.Interference from other equipmentDue to radio interference, malfunctions such as sound distortion may occur if the unit is placed too close to other equipment. We recommend keeping the unit as far away as possible from the following devices:■■■Bluetooth devices other than this unit, wireless LAN, microwaves, office automation devices, digital cordless telephones and other electronic devicesThe unit is designed to automatically avoid radio interference from these household devices. However the sound will be broken when radio interference occurs.Using the unit●  Do not drop, hit or otherwise subject the transmitter or receiver to strong shocks of any kind. This may cause damage.●  Do not expose the unit to water or other liquids as it may cause damage.●  Do not use near microwave ovens, pacemakers or other industrial, chemical or medical equipment.●  Do not use inside an aircraft, as this may compromise the safety of the aircraft.●  Keep the ear pads, out of the reach of children to prevent them from being swallowed.■Basic flow of operations Connect the transmitter to the iPod®.Connect it to the iPod®’s dock connector.(Refer to page 15.)•  Prior to shipment from the manufacturing plant, the transmitter and receiver pair is registered.

Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.Pay attention to the surrounding environment (traffic) when using the earphones while walking.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.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.FOR U.S.A.Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North AmericaOne Panasonic Way Secaucus, New Jersey 07094Panasonic  Puerto Rico, Inc.Ave. 65 de Infantería, Km. 9.5, San Gabriel Industrial Park, Carolina, Puerto Rico 00985Limited Warranty CoverageIf your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or workmanship,  Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company or Panasonic  Puerto Rico, Inc.
