1 Important
Safety
Read and understand all instructions before you use this micro music system. If damage is caused by failure to follow the instructions, the warranty does not apply.
Risk of electric shock or fire!
• Never remove the casing of the product. - Never expose the product and accessories to rain or water. Never place liquid containers, such as vases, near the product. If liquids are spilt on or into the product, disconnect it from the power outlet immediately. Contact the Consumer Care to have the product checked before use. - Never place the product and accessories near naked flames or other heat sources, including direct sunlight. - Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on the product. - Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. - Disconnect the product from the power outlet before lightning storms. - When you disconnect the power cord, hold the plug securely, never the cable. - Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Risk of short circuit or fire!
- Before you connect the product to the power outlet, make sure that the power voltage matches the value printed on the back of the product. Never connect the product to the power outlet if the voltage is different.
- Never expose the remote control or batteries to rain, water, sunshine, or excessive heat.
- Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power plugs can cause arcing or fire.
- Correctly install the battery with its polarity (+/- signs) as marked on the remote control.
- Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Risk of injury or damage to the product!
- Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Avoid exposure to beam.
- Do not touch the disc optical lens inside the disc compartment.
- Never place the product or any objects on power cords or on other electrical equipment.
- If the product is transported in temperatures below 5°C, unpack the product and wait until its temperature matches room temperature before connecting it to the power outlet.
Risk of overheating!
- Never install this product in a confined space. Always leave a space of at least four inches around the product for ventilation. • Make sure that curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the product.
Risk of contamination!
- Remove the battery if it is exhausted or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time.
- Batteries contain chemical substances, they should be disposed of properly.
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.
