Safety information Important Safety Information Product Guide Read this guide carefully and keep it in a safe place. Following all guidelines is important for your health and safety when using the Sport MP3 Player. Important Safety Information • Read and keep these guidelines. • Follow all warnings and instructions carefully. • Do not use the Sport MP3 Player in or near water. • To clean, wipe with a soft dry cloth only. • Use only in accordance with this manual and the Sport MP3 Player User Guide. • Do not use near heat sources such as ovens, radiators, etc. • Use only accessories and attachments provided or recommended by the manufacturer. • Unplug this product during lightning storms. • Unplug this product when it is not used for a long period of time. • This product must only be serviced by a qualified professional. Service is required when the product is damaged or altered in any way. This includes damage to the adapter, exposure to water, rain, and moisture, and hard impact (dropping or crushing the Sport MP3 Player). When the Sport MP3 Player does not work normally, it must be brought in for service. Caution: Do not expose this product to water, rain, or moisture. This will reduce the risk of fire or electric shock. Batteries: The Sport MP3 Player has a built-in battery. If used incorrectly, this battery could explode and cause physical harm. Do not open or alter the battery, or expose it to heat. Puncturing or mutilating the battery is dangerous. Do not throw the battery or Sport MP3 Player device into fire. Sunlight: Do not leave the Sport MP3 Player in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This may cause it to melt, or cause damage to the battery. Earphones and Volume Control Damage to Hearing: The Sport MP3 Player can operate at volumes loud enough to cause damage to your hearing. To avoid this and protect your hearing, follow these guidelines: Keep the volume low. Set the volume at a level where you can hear noises around you clearly. You should be able to hear someone nearby speaking in a normal tone of voice. If you cannot hear people around you speaking, even with noise-canceling headphones, the volume is too loud. You could damage your hearing. Do not increase the volume while listening. After listening to the Sport MP3 Player for some time, you will become accustomed to the volume and may want to turn it louder. However, this can still cause damage to your hearing. Do not change the volume while using the Sport MP3 Player. Minimize the amount of time spent listening to loud sounds. The more exposure to loud sounds, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. Your hearing can be damaged in as little as 15 minutes when exposed to very loud music or sounds. Even when volume is lower, your hearing can still be damaged after a long period of time. The louder the sound, the less time it takes to damage your hearing. Hearing loud sounds or music during a day is cumulative: it adds up. If you are exposed to other loud sounds during the day, it will take less time for the Sport MP3 Player to damage your hearing. As a general guideline, keep the Sport MP3 Player volume at a level where you can converse normally with people nearby. If you replace the earphones on your Sport MP3 Player, you must reset the volume starting at a low level. Different kinds of earphones may produce different volumes, even if the volume setting on the Sport MP3 Player is the same. 3
