IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source
of the type described in these instructions or as
marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized
power plug where one blade is wider than the other.
This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your
household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t
fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by
items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the
plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug
body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC
outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device
as this can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in
use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it
is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected to a
household AC outlet for extended periods can cause
battery fluid leakage.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these
operating instructions.

Installation
Placement
1. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not
get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive
smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.
2. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment
and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
3. Stacking—Do not place anything on top of this unit.
4. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit
on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

Environment
1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near
water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool.
Avoid damp basements.
2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such
as radiators. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight with the doors and windows
closed as this may deform the cabinet.
2. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5 oC (41
oF) or rise above 35 oC (95 oF).

Service
1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:
1. (a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has
been damaged; or
1. (b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
1. (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
1. (d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
1. (e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions.
Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics
as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit
is in proper working condition.

Maintenance

a strong shock.
≥An anti skip memory (max. 48seconds) fills in interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations.

Cautions
Listening caution

EST. 1924

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.
Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the headphones, earphones or
any other parts that directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause rashes
or other allergic reactions.

Care of dry cell batteries
To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and short-circuiting, heed the following points.
≥Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use if the covering has been
peeled off.
≥Align the poles + and - correctly 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 fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive heat.
≥Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
≥Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals as this may cause shortcircuiting which is dangerous.
≥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.

When driving a car
In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit while driving.
