IMPORTANT NOTES ON HEARING
Your hearing is very important to you and to us, so please take care when operating
this equipment. We strongly recommend you to follow the guideline below in order to
prevent possible damage or loss of hearing.
NOTE: This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus as set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of Industry Canada. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television operation
(which can be determined by turning the equipment off), the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
If you continuously listen to the loud sounds, your hearing will adapt to continuous
loud sounds and will give you the impression that the volume has been reduced.
What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this BEFORE YOUR
HEARING ADAPTS, set the volume at a low level and slowly increase the volume level
until you can hear comfortably and clearly without distortion. Damage to your hearing
is accumulative and is irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that
the volume is too loud. Once you have established a comfortable listening level, DO
NOT INCREASE THE VOLUME LEVEL FURTHER.
· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
In the use of headphones, please take more attention. Hearing experts say that
listening to a loud music can damage your hearing, especially when listening to music
with headphones.
· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
