Notes:

• This MP3 player is optimized for the provided headphones (32 Ohm impedance). Using other headphones with lower impedance can damage the MP3 player or headphone, especially MP3 players with 2 headphone jacks.
• Exposing the device to an electrostatic discharge, among other things, may interrupt the data transfer between the device and the computer. If this occurs, the device should be unplugged from the USB port and then plugged in again.
• Caution: This device can produce high volumes. To prevent hearing loss, do not listen to high volumes for long periods. If you notice a ringing noise in your ears, lower the volume immediately or stop using the MP3 player. Please keep in mind that using earphones or headphones at loud volumes may result in permanent hearing loss. While you become accustomed to higher volumes over time, so that they may seem normal to you, your sense of hearing can still be impaired. The higher you adjust the volume, the faster your sense of hearing can be damaged.
• Caution: Using earphones while driving a motor vehicle is not recommended and is prohibited in some countries. Always drive carefully and with full concentration. Stop using your MP3 player if you become distracted or interrupted by it when driving a motor vehicle or during other activities that require your full attention.
  • Do not use USB cables longer than 3 meters.
