BATTERIES

• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.
• Do not use the batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer. Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any part of your body.
- If rechargeable batteries are to be used, rechargeable batteries manufactured by Panasonic are recommended.

CAUTION

• Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of heat.
• Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.
• To avoid product damage, do not expose this product to rain, water or other liquids.

• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism.

Listening caution

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let

you hear outside sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

- Start your volume control at a low setting.

- Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

- Set the dial and leave it there.

MAINTENANCE

Head care

To ensure good sound quality, be sure to clean the head after approximately

every 10 hours of use with a cotton swab dampend with a little alcohol.
