Safety Instructions and Important Hearing Levels

1. Read the safety instructions carefully before using your Sansa
2. Read this entire manual to ensure proper usage.
3. Keep this User Guide for future reference.
4. Do not use Headphones/Earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle.
This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in some areas. It can also be dangerous to play
your music with Headphones/Earphones at high volume while walking, or engaged in other
activities. You should exercise extreme caution and discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
5. Avoid using Headphones/Earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous
loud and extended music play. Keep the volume at a moderate level, so that you are better able to
hear outside sound, and to be considerate of the people around you.
6. Keep your player away from sinks, drinks, bathtubs, showers, rain, and other sources of moisture.
Moisture can cause electric shocks with any electronic device.

• Clean your player with a soft lint-free cloth used on glass lenses.
• Do not allow young children to use your player unsupervised.
• Never force any connector into the ports of your player or your computer. Make sure your
connectors are the identical shape and size before you connect.
8. Do not disassemble, crush, short-circuit, or incinerate battery as it may cause fire, injury, burns, or
other hazards.
Important – Safety Hearing Level Info
Your media player is equipped with a variety of features. To help you maximize your listening
pleasure, SanDisk would like to advise you that it is important to use your headphones with your
media player at a safe hearing level.
Exposure or repeated exposure for an extended period of time to music and other sounds that are too
loud can cause damage to your hearing resulting in temporary or even permanent "noise induced
hearing loss".
Symptoms of hearing loss increase gradually with prolonged exposure at high levels of loudness.
Initially, you may not even be aware of the loss unless detected with a hearing test.
