traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. It can
also be potentially dangerous to play your player
at high volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise
extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud
and extended play. If you experience a ringing in
your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will
allow you to hear outside sounds and to be
considerate of the people around you.

• Do not place the cartridge where it will be
subject to light, temperature, moisture or
