This ‘bolt of lightning’ indicates uninsulated material within your unit may cause an electrical shock. For the safety of everyone in your household, please do not remove product covering.

The ‘exclamation point’ calls attention to features for which you should read the enclosed literature closely to prevent operating and maintenance problems. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

Important Safety Instructions

① Read these instructions.
② Keep these instructions.
③ Heed all warnings.
④ Follow all instructions.
⑤ Do not use this apparatus near water.
⑥ Clean only with dry cloth.

⑦ Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
⑧ Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
⑨ Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
⑩ Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
⑪ Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

⑫ Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

⑬ Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

⑭ Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent battery leakage which may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:

• Install all batteries correctly, + and - as marked on the unit.
- Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
- Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

⑮ Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

⑯ Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

⑰ Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Risk of overheating! Never install this apparatus in a confined space. Always leave a space of at least four inches around this apparatus for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on this apparatus.

Caution

- Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.

Warning

• Never remove the casing of this unit.
• Never lubricate any part of this unit.
• Place this unit on a flat, hard and stable surface.
• Never place this unit on other electrical equipment.
• Only use this unit indoors. Keep this unit away from water, moisture and liquid-filled objects.
• Keep this unit away from direct sunlight, naked flames or heat.
• Never look into the laser beam inside the unit.

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 experienced some hearing loss.

- Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and harmful 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 guidelines 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 discontinue 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.
