Ave. 65 de InfanterÍa, Km. 9.5 San Gabriel Industrial Park, Carolina, Puerto Rico 00985 To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution. ≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully. 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, re- duce volume or discontinue use. Do not use while operating a motorized ve- hicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is il- legal in many areas. You should use extreme caution or tem- porarily discontinue use in potentially haz- ardous 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 vol- umes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equip- ment 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: ≥Set the dial and leave it there. EST. 1924 Listening caution If the surfaces are dirty For a cleaner crisper sound Clean the heads regularly to assure good quality playback. Use a cleaning tape(not included). CAUTION If you ship the product Carefully pack and send it prepaid, adequately insured and preferably in the original carton. Attach a postage-affixed letter, detailing the complaint, to the outside of the carton. Do NOT send the product to the Executive or Regional Sales offices. They are NOT equipped to make repairs.
