On the connection with USB devices
Avoid listening with your headphones in situations where hearing must not be impaired.
•
While the player is connected, do not turn the USB device on or off. Also, if the USB device is turned
off during data transfer to the player, data may be damaged, or the player or device may be broken.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using the headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and
extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Do not turn the volume up high all at once, especially when using headphones.
Turn up the volume gradually so that loud sound will not hurt your ears.
On cleaning
•
•
Clean the player’s case with a soft cloth, such as cleaning cloth for eyeglasses.
If the player’s case becomes very dirty, clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild
detergent solution.
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.
•
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene, as it
may mar the finish of the case.

Note that condensation may form temporarily in cases such as when the player is moved quickly
from a low-temperature environment to a high temperature environment or used in a room that has
a heater just turned on. Condensation creates a phenomenon where moisture in the air adheres to
surfaces such as metal panels, etc., and then changes to liquid. If condensation forms in the player,
leave it turned off until the condensation disappears. If you use the player with condensation present,
a malfunction may result.
