DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is

damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed

for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and

make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for

infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of

road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating

will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit

the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides

to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

Do not block the ventilation holes.

(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws

governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.

Using AC Power

1

Make sure you unplug the player’s DC cord from

the AC Power Adapter/Charger.

2 Connect the AC Power Adapter/Charger to the

player as shown in the illustration above.

NOTES:

● The provided AC Power Adapter/Charger features

About Batteries

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart,

or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may

cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals

to come in contact with metals, as this can result in

a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large

power capacity. However, when one is exposed to

cold temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time

becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this

happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or

other warm, protected place for a short time, then

re-attach it to the player. As long as the battery pack

itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery

pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

For other notes, 墌 pg. 42.
