Maintenance & Safety (See 7)  
CD player and CD handling  
Safety information  
If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,  
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before  
taking the set to repair.  
Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface  
so that the system does not tilt.  
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance cou-  
pler is used as the disconnect device, the dis-  
connect device shall remain readily operable.  
The lens of the CD player should never be  
touched!  
Sudden changes in the surrounding  
Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to  
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused  
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
temperature can cause condensation on the  
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then  
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the  
lens but leave the set in a warm environment  
until the moisture evaporates.  
The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip-  
ping or splashing.  
Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of  
15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation  
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary  
to prevent heat build-up.  
Always close the CD door to avoid dust on  
the lens.  
To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from  
the center towards the edge using a soft,  
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as  
they may damage the disc.  
Do not cover the ventilation openings with  
items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur-  
tains, etc.  
Never write on a CD or attach any stickers to it.  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,  
shall be placed on the apparatus.  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-  
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.  
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use  
any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammo-  
nia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm  
the housing.

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.
