Important Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow the following safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage.

1. Avoid water, liquid and wet/damp locations. Do not use the player in rain, near washbasins or any other wet locations. In the instance where the player gets wet, unplug all cables, turn the player off and dry it out thoroughly before switching it back on again.
2. Repairing the player. Never attempt to repair the player yourself, as it does not contain any user serviceable parts. The rechargeable battery in the player should only be replaced by an authorized service center.

Before putting on the earphones turn the volume down then put the earphones on and slowly increase the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing as follows:
4. Limit the amount of time using earphones or headphones at high volumes.
5. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noise from the surroundings.

Important Handling Information

Caution: Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to your player and/or other equipment.

1. Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions in the port. If the connector and port do not interface with reasonable ease, they probably do not match. Make sure that the connector is matching and is positioned correctly in relation to the port.
2. When connected to a USB port, do not remove the USB device while it is being accessed. Electrical interference and electrostatic discharges may cause malfunction and damage to the USB device and thus may result in loss of data. It is strongly recommended to back up all important data on a PC in order to protect against corruption, data loss, or device malfunction. Please note that the manufacturer shall not accept any liability for damage or loss of stored data.
3. The player operates best in temperatures between -5° and 40° C. Its play time may temporarily shorten when it is operating in low-temperature conditions.
4. Store your player in a place where the temperature is always between -5° C and 40° C. Do not leave your player in the car as temperature in parked cars may exceed this range.
5. To clean the player, unplug all cables and turn the player off. Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Do not use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvent cleaners, or abrasives to clean your player.
6. To minimize static electricity, avoid operating the player in an extremely dry environment. In an environment with electrostatic discharge, this may cause malfunction to the product and reset may be required.
