Safety Warnings and Maintenance

Please read ALL safety warnings and precautions before attempting to use your player to avoid injury.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow the following safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or

damage.

1. Avoid water, liquid and wet/damp locations. Do not use the player in rain, near washbasins or any

other wet locations. In the instance where the player gets wet, unplug all cables, turn the player off

and dry it out thoroughly before switching it back on again.

2. Repairing the player. Never attempt to repair the player yourself, as it does not contain any user

serviceable parts. The rechargeable battery in the player should only be replaced by an authorized

service center.

3. Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods may permanently damage your hearing. Before putting

on the earphones turn the volume down then put the earphones on and slowly increase the volume

until you reach a comfortable listening level. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech,

stop listening and have your hearing checked. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing as

follows:

• Limit the amount of time using earphones or headphones at high volumes.

• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noise from the surroundings.

• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

4. Using earphones or headphones while operating a vehicle or machinery is not recommended and is

illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive, stop using your player if you find it disruptive or

distracting while operating any type of vehicle/machinery or performing any other activity that requires

your full attention.

Important Handling Information

Caution: Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to your player and or other

equipment.

1. Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions in the port. If the connector and port do not

interface with reasonable ease they probably do not match. Make sure that the connector is matching

and is positioned correctly in relation to the port.

2. When connected to a USB port, do not remove the USB device while it is being accessed. Electrical

interference and electrostatic discharges may cause malfunction and damage to the USB device

and

thus may

result in loss of data. It is strongly recommended to back up all important data on a PC

in order to protect against corruption, data loss or device malfunction. Please note that the

manufacturer shall not accept any liability for damage or loss of stored data.

3.

The player operates best in temperatures between -5º and 40º C. Its play time may temporarily shorten

when it is operating in low-temperature conditions.

4. Store your player in a place where the temperature is always between -5º C and 40ºC. Do not leave

your player in the car as temperature in parked cars may exceed this range.

5. To clean the player, unplug all cables and turn the player off. Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint free

cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Do not use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol

sprays, solvent cleaners or abrasives to clean your player.

6. To minimize static electricity, avoid operating the player in an extremely dry environment. In an

environment with electrostatic discharge, this may cause malfunction to the product and reset may be

required.

Power Off: Slide and hold the Power/Hold switch in the direction of the

start-up.

When the player boots up, the startup image appears in sequence. The

player automatically goes to the music playback mode after boot-up.
