Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse

in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp,A.S.T.A. or BSI

approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be

cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug

contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3 Amp.If a plug without a

fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater

than 3 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock

hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code:

blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not corre-

spond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug,

proceed as follows:

•Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

•Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

•Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug,

marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is

clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Hearing Safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

•Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This

product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing

loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The

higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already

experienced some hearing loss.

•Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"

adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what

sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To

guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing

adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

•Set your volume control at a low setting.

•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clear-

ly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

•Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also

cause hearing loss.

•Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate

breaks.

IFU_DC185_12_eng 2008.5.12 3:19 PM Page 4

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using

your headphones.

•Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.

•Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.

•Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around

you.

•You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially

hazardous situations.

•Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,

skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many

areas.

POWER SUPPLY

Whenever convenient, use the mains supply cord if you want to conserve

battery life. Make sure you remove the plug from the set and wall outlet

before inserting batteries.

Batteries (not included)

1 Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type R-14, UM-2 or

C-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+"

and "–" symbols inside the compartment. (See 1)

2 Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are firmly and cor-

rectly in place. The set is now ready to operate.

– Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be dis-

posed of properly.

– Perchlorate Material-special handling may apply. See

www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

• Incorrect use of batteries can cause

electrolyte leakage and will corrode the

compartment or cause the batteries to burst:

• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon zinc. Only use batteries

of the same type for the set.

• When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old batteries with the new

ones.

• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long time.

Using AC Mains

1 Check if the power/mains voltage, as shown on the type plate located

on the bottom of the set, corresponds to your local power supply. If it does

not, consult your dealer or service center.

IFU_DC185_12_eng 2008.5.12 3:19 PM Page 8

2 Connect the power cord to the AC MAINS inlet and the wall socket. The

mains lead is now connected and ready for use.

3 To switch the set off completely, withdraw the power cord from the wall

socket.

4Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be eas-

ily reached.

•Disconnect the mains lead from the wall socket to protect your set during

heavy thunderstorms. Children could seriously injure themselves as the free

end of the cable may still be live if only the connector is removed from the

MAINS socket at the back of the unit.

•Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect

device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

The type plate is located on the bottom of the set.
