General Information  
Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in  
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)  
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit  
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.  
The ventilation should not be impeded by  
covering the ventilation openings with items,  
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.  
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to  
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources  
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,  
should be placed on the apparatus.  
This set complies with the FCC rules,  
Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10.  
Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions:  
– This device may not cause harmful  
interference, and  
– This device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may  
cause undesired operation.  
Supplied accessories  
– 2 speaker boxes  
– remote control  
– AM loop antenna  
– Docking kit  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall  
be placed on the apparatus.  
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a  
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,  
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc  
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD  
player would not operate normally. Leave the  
power on for about one hour with no disc in the  
system until normal playback is possible.  
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
When the system is switched to Standby  
mode, it is still consuming some power.  
To disconnect the system from the  
power supply completely, remove the AC  
power plug from the wall socket.

- Dock adaptors (8 adaptors for different  
iPod types)  
Environmental Information  
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We  
have tried to make the packaging easy to  
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),  
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,  
protective foam sheet).  
Your system consists of materials which can be  
recycled and reused if disassembled by a  
specialized company. Please observe the local  
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging  
materials, exhausted batteries and old  
equipment.  
Safety Information  
Before operating the system, check that the  
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or  
the voltage indication beside the voltage  
selector) of your system is identical with the  
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please  
consult your dealer.  
Place the system on a flat, hard and stable  
surface.  
The apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.  
Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the  
AC power plug can be easily reached.

General Information  
Hearing Safety  
Listen at a moderate volume.  
Using headphones at a high volume can impair  
your hearing. This product can produce sounds  
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for  
a normal person, even for exposure less than a  
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered  
for those that may have already experienced  
some hearing loss.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds  
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to  
your hearing. To guard against this, set your  
volume to a safe level before your hearing  
adapts and leave it there.  
To establish a safe volume level:  
Set your volume control at a low setting.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it  
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.  
Listen for reasonable periods of time:  
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally  
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.  
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and  
take appropriate breaks.  
Be sure to observe the following  
guidelines when using your headphones.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable  
periods of time.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your  
hearing adapts.  
Do not turn up the volume so high that you  
can't hear what's around you.  
You should use caution or temporarily  
discontinue use in potentially hazardous  
situations.  
Do not use headphones while operating a  
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it  
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many  
areas.
