English The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level - a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL: • Set your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. • Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there. BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: • Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you. • Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. • Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. S001a_A1_En POWER-CORD CAUTION Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. S002*_A1_En 3
