SAFETY
General
Do not drop the device and do not expose it to liquid, moisture or humidity. These might lead to damage to the device.
If the device is moved from a cold environment into a warmer one, do let it adapt to the new temperature before operate the device. Otherwise, it might lead to condensation and cause malfunctions in the device.
Do not use the device in the dust environment as dust can damage the interior electronic components and lead to malfunctions in the device.
Protect the device from strong vibrations and place it on stable surfaces.
Do not attempt to disassembly the device.
If the device is not using for a long period of time, disconnect it from the power supply by unplugging the power plug. This is to avoid the risk of fire.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
To maintain the compliance with the WiFi RF exposure requirement, place the product at least 20 cm from nearby persons except when operating the controls.
Power adapter
Only use the power adaptor delivered with the device.
The socket outlet should be installed near the device and should be easily accessible.
Never touch the power plug with wet hands and never pull on the power cable when pulling the plug out of the power socket.
Make sure the electrical voltage specified on the device and its power plug is corresponding to the voltage of the power socket. Incorrect voltage will destroy the device.
Risks associated with high volumes
Connect headphones with volume set low and increase it if required. Prolonged
listening through some headphones at high volume settings can result in
hearing damage. To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods.
Battery handling and usage
Only adults should handle battery. Do not allow a child to use this apparatus unless the battery cover is securely attached.

– Do not mix battery types, e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate.
– When inserting new batteries, replace all batteries at the same time.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.
