On handling
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,
moisture, rain, mechanical shock, or in a car with its
windows closed.
• We do not recommend the use of tape longer than 90
minutes. They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily.
This may cause malfunction of the unit or sound
deterioration.
• If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before
inserting a cassette.
• For cleaning the case, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with
mild detergent solution. Do not use alcohol, benzine or
thinner.
On headphones/earphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or
operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play
your headphones/earphones at high volume while walking, especially
at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Do not use headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience
a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
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.
