Important

Safety

• Read these instructions.
• Obey all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install the product according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not install the device near heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Request all repair operations from qualified service personnel. The device needs repair if it is damaged in any way, if liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, if it has been exposed to rain or moisture, if it does not operate normally, or if it has been dropped.

Battery Precautions

• CAUTION regarding battery use: To prevent battery leakage, which may cause personal injury, material damage, or damage to the portable radio:
• Install the battery correctly, observing the + and - marks on the unit.
• Remove batteries if you are not going to use the unit for a long time.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire, or the like.
• Do not expose the portable radio to dripping or splashing.
• Do not place any source of danger on the portable radio (such as objects containing liquids or lit candles).

Hearing Safety

Listen at a moderate volume:

• Using headphones at high volume can damage your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that can cause hearing loss for a normal person, even when exposed for less than a minute. Higher decibel ranges are intended for people who have already experienced hearing loss.
• Sound can be deceptive. Over time, your hearing's "comfort level" will adapt to higher sound volumes. So after listening for a prolonged period, what sounds "normal" may be loud and harmful to your hearing. To protect yourself from this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To set a safe volume level:

• Set your volume control to a low level.
• Slowly increase the sound until you hear clearly and without distortion.
• Listen for reasonable periods of time. Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
• Make sure to use your equipment reasonably and take adequate breaks.

Ensure you comply with the following guidelines when using headphones:

• Listen at a reasonable volume for reasonable periods.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn the volume up so high that you cannot hear what is happening around you.
• You must exercise caution or temporarily suspend use in potentially dangerous situations. Do not use headphones while driving a motor vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may pose a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
