Always keep the power socket free of obstructions so that the plug can be pulled out easily. Even when the device is switched off, some components are live.
- In order to disconnect the power to your device or to completely isolate the device from voltage sources unplug the mains adapter from the socket.
- When disconnecting the connection cable from the mains supply, always grip the AC adaptor plastic case rather than on the cable.
- In an emergency, for example, if you see smoke coming out of the device, or if it makes unusual noises, remove the connection cable and/or batteries.
- The mains adapter must always be easy to reach in an emergency. For this reason, it is important that the power socket is always easily accessible.
- The device uses a small amount of electricity, even when it is switched off. To completely switch off the device, unplug the mains adapter from the mains.
Mains Power Adapter:
- Use only the mains power adapter supplied with the product.
- If the housing of the mains adapter or the connection cable is damaged, the mains adapter must be disposed of and replaced with a new mains adapter of the same type.

Protect Your Furniture
This product is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However, certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture, we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
Dear Jensen® Customer
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
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:
- Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
? We Want You LISTENING For A Lifetime ?
