Cautions
Batteries
� Before replacing batteries, always turn the minidisc player off. Rechargeable Ni - MH battery : � Use only the rechargeable battery BN-R1210 (supplied) or BN-R127 (not supplied) with this minidisc player. � If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the battery�s service life is over. Do not use it any more. � Recharging an already charged battery will shorten its service life. � When recharging a battery for the first time, or when it has not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the battery. This will restore it to its regular state. � Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of the rechargeable battery because this may cause dangerous short-circuiting. � Recharge the battery at a temperature of 10°C to 35°C. � Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play. � If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use. � Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. � You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. � Even if your headphones are an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don�t turn up the volume so high that you can�t hear what�s around you.
