On the headphones/earphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any
motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. It
can also be potentially dangerous to play your recorder 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/earphones 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.
On the MiniDisc cartridge
• When carrying or storing the MiniDisc, keep it in its case.
• Do not break open the shutter.
• Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme
temperatures, moisture or dust.
• Attach the supplied MD label only in the space designated for it on the disc.
Do not stick it on any other disc surface.
On cleaning
• Clean the recorder casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the finish of the
casing.
• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt.
• Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to
close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an MD.
• To obtain the best sound quality, use a dry cloth to wipe the plugs of the
headphones/earphones or the remote control. Dirty plugs may cause sound
distortion or intermittent breaks in the sound.
