On rechargeable battery
• Because of the battery's limited life, its
capacity gradually deteriorates over time
and repeated use. Exchange an old one
with a new one when the battery holds
about only half the normal period.
• To prevent battery deterioration, charge
the battery at least once every half a year
or every year.
• Certain countries may regulate disposal
of the battery used to power this product.
Please consult with your local authority.
On AC adaptor and car battery adaptor

• Do not disassemble or reverse-engineer.
• Do not touch the metal parts, as it may
cause a short and damage the adaptors,
especially if touched by other metal
objects.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening
to a section with very low level inputs or
no audio signals. If you do, the speakers
may be damaged when a peak level section
is played.
On headphones
• Preventing hearing damage: Avoid using
headphones at high volumes. Hearing
experts advice against continuous, loud,
and extended play. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce the volume
or discontinue use.
• Showing consideration for others: Keep
the volume at a moderate level. This will
allow you to hear outside sounds and still
be considerate to the people around you.
