Supplied accessories– remote control (with battery)– FM antenna– MW antenna– 4 X iPod dock adaptors– 1 X certified AC/DC adapter

Safety Information Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate ofyour system is identical with the voltage of yourlocal power supply. If not, please consult yourdealer.

Place the system on a flat, hard and stablesurface.

Place the system in a location with adequateventilation to prevent internal heat build-up inyour system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)clearance from the rear and the top of the unitand 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

The ventilation should not be impeded bycovering the ventilation openings with items,such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Do not expose the system, batteries or discs toexcessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sourcescaused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,should be placed on the apparatus.

No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shallbe placed on the apparatus.

Install this unit near the AC outlet and where theAC power plug can be reached easily.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to drippingor splashing.

If the system is brought directly from a cold to awarm location, or is placed in a very damp room,moisture may condense on the lens of the discunit inside the system. Should this occur, the CDplayer would not operate normally. Leave thepower on for about one hour with no disc in thesystem until normal playback is possible.

The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled orlubricated.

When the system is switched to Standbymode, it is still consuming some power.

To disconnect the system from thepower supply completely, remove the ACpower plug from the wall socket.

General Information

Hearing SafetyListen at a moderate volume.

Using headphones at a high volume can impairyour hearing. This product can produce soundsin decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss fora normal person, even for exposure less than aminute. The higher decibel ranges are offeredfor those that may have already experiencedsome hearing loss.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes ofsound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds"normal" can actually be loud and harmful toyour hearing. To guard against this, set yourvolume to a safe level before your hearingadapts 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 itcomfortably 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 andtake appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the followingguidelines when using your headphones.

Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonableperiods of time.

Be careful not to adjust the volume as yourhearing adapts.

Do not turn up the volume so high that youcan't hear what's around you.

You should use caution or temporarilydiscontinue use in potentially hazardoussituations.

Do not use headphones while operating amotorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; itmay create a traffic hazard and is illegal in manyareas.
