2  Disposing of the batteries     Check and follow your local regulations before disposal.
A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased.At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it is illegal to dispose of this battery into your municipal waste stream.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information 
on how to recycle this battery.
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.
                                                             (Bottom of product)
WarningRisk of fire, explosion and burns. Do not disassemble, heat above 60°C (140°F) or incinerate.
CAUTIONDanger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. 
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended 
by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to 
the manufacturer’s instructions.
The following mark and symbols are located on bottom of the unit.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC 
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE SCREWS.
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED 
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s 
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude 
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons
.The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
The unit should be installed near an accessible AC power outlet, with the power cord connected directly to it.
To completely disconnect power from the unit, unplug the 
power cord from the AC power outlet.
Listening caution
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.
