� Care
Do not play your headphones or earphones 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 a 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 or earphones are the 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. 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. To establish a safe level: �Start your volume control at a low setting. �Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: �Set the dial and leave it there.
As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by Panasonic are constructed so it is impossible to recharge ordinary batteries. Only batteries especially designed for this unit can be recharged.
Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:
To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and short-circuiting, heed the following points. �Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use if the covering has been peeled off. �Align the poles + and - correctly when inserting the batteries. �Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old and new batteries. �Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time. �Do not throw into �re, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive heat. �Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries. �Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals as this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous. �When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects such as necklaces are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which can cause a �re. For safety, carry the rechargeable batteries in the battery carrying case.

Special rechargeable batteries
Ordinary dry cell batteries/rechargeable batteries
�If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharging, the batteries have reached the end of their service life.

Repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to normal.
