5 RQT8245 -If you see this symbol- WARNING: The driver must not operate this unit while the vehicle is moving. Do not operate this unit where it can be viewed by the driver. Driver operation or viewing of this unit while the vehicle is moving will cause distraction which may result in serious accident and personal injury or property damage. CAUTION!DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A BOOKCASE, BUILT-IN CABINET OR IN ANOTHER CONFINED SPACE. ENSURE THE UNIT IS WELL VENTILATED. TO PREVENT RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING, ENSURE THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS. AC adaptorThis AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V and 240 V. But ≥In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC adaptor must be connected to a 120 V AC power supply only. ≥When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, use a plug adaptor to suit the AC outlet configuration. ≥When connecting to a supply of greater than AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited to the voltage of the AC supply and the rated current of the AC adaptor. ≥Contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance in selecting a suitable AC plug adaptor or AC cord set. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible or the mains plug or an appliance coupler shall remain readily operable. THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A. Notice: This product has parts that contains a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries Alliance: Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use. Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:≥Start your volume control at a low setting.≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level:≥Leave it there. Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while using it. The unit can become hot and cause burns. To prevent damage Avoid the following: ≥Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.≥Pressing the LCD.≥Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup. Do not use the unit in the following places: ≥Sandy places such as beaches.≥On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers. Do not leave in an unventilated automobile or exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures. Information on Disposal in other Countries outside the European Union This symbol is only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.
