Important safety instructions

Please read and strictly observe the following instruc-

tions!

 The MP3 player and the provided accessories, such as

e.g. the external power adapter may not be disassembled,

modified or repaired by you.

 If the MP3 player has been dropped or if the casing has

been damaged, turn it off.

 Do not give your MP3 player and especially the accesso-

ries to children. Never let your children use electrical devices

without supervision. Children are not always able to recognize

potential hazards. Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Store the

batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been

swallowed, medical help has to be obtained immediately. Also

keep the packaging films away from children. There is a danger

of suffocation.

 The MP3 player and the accompanying components may

not be exposed to dripping or sprayed water. Additionally,

no objects or containers containing liquids, such as vases or

glasses, may be placed on top of the device. Pay special atten-

tion to the device when it rains, snows, at the beach, or in the

vicinity of water.

 Do not use the MP3 player in environments with high hu-

midity, large amounts of steam, smoke, or dust.

 Don’t leave the MP3 player in locations where the tem-

perature can rise to a large degree (e.g. inside a vehicle).

This could damage the casing and interior parts and cause a

fire.

6

English Norsk

 Only place the MP3 player on stable surfaces. Otherwise

the MP3 player could drop or topple, cause injuries or sustain

damage. Don’t let the MP3 player drop or bump against any-

thing and take great care when using it.

 Make sure that the display is not exposed to any bumps.

This could damage the glass of the monitor or cause the liquid

to leak out. If the liquid gets into the eyes, on the skin or the

clothes, it has to be rinsed off immediately with clear water. If

the liquid gets into the eyes, consult your physician immedi-

ately.

 Only use the MP3 player with the included headphones

(SilverCrest DM-67).

 Don’t use the MP3 player at an excessive volume. This

poses a risk to your hearing.

 Articles 44.5 and 44.6 of the law about public health mainte-

nance, modified by article 2 of the law from May 28, 1996, pre-

scribe a restriction of the sound pressure at a maximum of 100

dB(A). The headphones (SilverCrest DM-67) and the device

comply with these legal regulations to their full extent. Longer

listening periods at a full volume of the device may cause hear-

ing damage to the user.

 Use particular care in potentially dangerous situations

(e.g. while driving, riding a bicycle, jogging, etc.) or discon-

tinue the use of the headphones temporarily. Even if your

headphones are designed in such a way that you can continue

to perceive external sounds, you should set the volume only so

high that you can still perceive your environment.

7

English

Norsk

 We advise against the use of headphones while driving a

car or other vehicle. Please drive carefully and attentively. If

you notice that the device distracts or impedes you while you

are driving, switch it off.

 Be careful with the external power adapter: Always touch

the external power adapter by its casing. Don’t pull on the ac-

tual cable and never touch the adapter with wet hands, since

this could cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Don’t

place the device or any furniture or similar items on the adapter

and the power cable. Make sure that the power cable doesn’t

get pinched. Never tie a knot into the power cable and don't tie

it together with other cables. The power cable should be laid in

such a way that no one will step on it. A damaged power cable

may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Check the power cable

from time to time. If it is damaged, contact your nearest author-

ized customer service centre or your vendor for a replacement.

 Caution: Information about disconnecting from the power

supply: To completely disconnect the device from the power

supply, the external power adapter has to be pulled out of the

power socket. Therefore the device should be positioned in

such a way that unobstructed access to the power socket can

be ensured at any time, so that the power adapter may immedi-

ately be pulled out in an emergency situation. To prevent the

risk of fire, the external power adapter should always be dis-

connected from the power socket before a longer period of dis-

use of the device, such as during a vacation.

English Norsk

 Risk of explosion! Never toss the device into fire, since the

built-in battery may explode. The improper handling of lithium-

ion batteries may lead to an explosion or fire. Therefore only

use the battery for its intended purpose!

 Only operate the device with the electrical parts that are

included in the scope of delivery.

 Dispose of your camera and the batteries

in compliance with the Directive 2002/96/EC

(see p. 55). In particular, the device does not

belong into household trash.

Charging the internal battery

Your MP3 player has an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion bat-

tery. This has to be completely charged before the first use of the

device (min. 3 hours) and then completely discharged in order to

guarantee the optimum lifespan of the battery. This requires that

the device is not freshly charged before its complete discharge.

The internal battery can be charged either by connecting the MP3

player to a USB port on your computer or through the provided

external power adapter with an external power source.

To charge the device with your

computer, connect the device

to a USB port on your com-

puter by using the provided

USB cable. The MP3 player

switches on automatically and

the charging process begins.

forms you about the current energy level of the battery.
