Precautions When Connecting
• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always
turn down the volume, and turn off all the units
before making any connections.

• Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn
the volume down. Even with the volume turned
down, you might hear some sound when switching
the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in
resistor.
Use of Battery
• The life of the included battery may be limited as its
primary purpose was for testing during assembly.
• If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion
and fluid leakage. Make sure that you carefully
observe all of the items related to batteries that are
listed in "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and "IMPORTANT
NOTES" (supplied on a separate sheet).
• When operating on battery power only, the unit's
indicator will become dim when battery power gets
too low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
• If the batteries run extremely low, the sound may
distort, but this does not indicate a malfunction. If
this occurs, please replace the batteries or use the AC
adaptor (sold separately).
• Batteries should always be installed or replaced
before connecting any other devices. This way, you
can prevent malfunction and damage.
