On the headphones

Road safety
Avoid listening with your headphones in situations where hearing must not be impaired.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using the headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and
extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Do not turn the volume up high all at once, especially when using headphones.
Turn up the volume gradually so that loud sound will not hurt your ears.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to
the people around you.
Warning
If there is lightning when you are using the player, take off the headphones immediately.
If you experience an allergic reaction to the supplied headphones, stop using them at once and contact
a doctor.
On the use
• When using a strap (sold separately), be careful to avoid hooking it on objects you pass by.
Furthermore be careful not to swing the player by the strap to avoid bumping people.
• Refrain from using the player according to the in-flight announcements during take off or landing in
an aircraft.
• Note that condensation may form temporarily in cases such as when the player is moved quickly
from a low-temperature environment to a high temperature environment or used in a room that has
a heater just turned on. Condensation creates a phenomenon where moisture in the air adheres to
surfaces such as metal panels, etc., and then changes to liquid. If condensation forms in the player,
leave it turned off until the condensation disappears. If you use the player with condensation present,
a malfunction may result.

On the connection with USB devices
• While the player is connected, do not turn the USB device on or off. Also, if the USB device is turned
off during data transfer to the player, data may be damaged, or the player or device may be broken.
On cleaning

• If the player's case becomes very dirty, clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild
detergent solution.
