1.6 Safety information
● Place the set on a flat, firm and stable surface.
● Keep the system, batteries or discs away from
excessive moisture, rain, sand or any heat
sources, such as heating equipment or direct
sunlight.
● Place the set in a location with adequate venti-
lation to prevent internal heat build-up in your
system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clear-
ance from the rear and the top of the unit and
5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
● Never cover the ventilation openings with items
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc as
this will impede ventilation.

splashing.
● Never place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the set.

lighted candles on the set.
● The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume:
● Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing. This product can produce sounds
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss
for a normal person, even for exposure less
than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are
offered for those that may have already experi-
enced some hearing loss.
● Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hear-
ing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So after prolonged listening, what
sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harm-
ful to your hearing. To guard against this, set
your volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
● Set your volume control at a low setting.
● Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
● Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally
“safe” levels, can also cause hearing loss.
● Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guide-
lines when using your headphones:
● Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
● Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
● Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
● You should use caution or temporarily discon-
tinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
● Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
