Safety Guide

This section contains important safety and handling information for DA-300E.

Read all safety information below and handling information before using DA-300E to avoid injury. Keep the DA-

300E User Manual for future reference.

Important Safety Information

Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage.

1. Handling DA-300E: Do not bend, drop, crush, puncture, incinerate, or open DA-300E.

2. Avoiding water and wet locations: Do not use DA-300E in rain, or near washbasins or other wet locations.

Take care not to spill any food or liquid into DA-300E. In case DA-300E gets wet, unplug all cables, turn

DA-300E off, and allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again.

3. Repairing DA-300E: Never attempt to repair DA-300E yourself. DA-300E does not contain any user

serviceable parts.

4. Avoiding hearing damage: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones are 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.

Important Handling Information

1. Carrying DA-300E: DA-300E contains sensitive components, including in some cases, a hard drive. Do not

bend, drop, or crush DA-300E. If you are concerned about scratching DA-300E, you can use one of the

many cases sold separately.

2. Using connectors and ports: Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions on the port. If the

connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the

connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

3. Keeping DA-300E within acceptable temperatures: Operate DA-300E in a place where the temperature

is always between 0º and 45º C (32º to 95º F). DA-300E play time might temporarily shorten in low-

temperature conditions.

4. Keeping the outside of DA-300E clean: To clean DA-300E, unplug all cables, turn DA-300E off. Then use

a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,

household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean DA-300E.
