Important information
about this manual
For safety reasons, this manual
indicates items requiring particular
attention with the following marks.
NOTICE
This is a warning against
anything which may cause
damage to the vehicle or its
equipment if the warning is
ignored. You are informed about
what you must or must not do
in order to avoid or reduce the
risk of damage to your vehicle
and its equipment.
CAUTION
This is a warning against any-
thing which may cause injury to
people if the warning is ignored.
You are informed about what
you must or must not do in
order to reduce the risk of injury
to yourself and others.
To ensure the correct
audio system operation
Do not allow this unit to come
into contact with liquids.
Electrical shock could result.
Also, this unit damage, smoke,
and overheat could result from
contact with liquids.
Do not put anything other than a
Compact Disc into the slot.
The use of cellular phones inside
or near the vehicle may cause
noise from the audio system
speakers you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
The Safety of Your
Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equip-
ment 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 af fecting 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 equip-
ment 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 traf fic hazard and is
illegal in many areas.
