Important Safety Instructions & Cleaning Tips 3

This chapter provides you with safety instructions,

hearing safety, and cleaning tips for your SanDisk

Sansa®FuzeTM player.

Important Safety Instructions

PLEASE READ THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING

YOUR SANSA PLAYER.

1. Read this entire manual to ensure proper usage.

2. Keep this User’s Manual for future reference.

3. Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized

vehicle. This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in some areas. It can also be

dangerous to play your music with headphones/earphones at high volume while walking,

or engaged in other activities. You should exercise extreme caution and discontinue use

in potentially hazardous situations.

4. Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise

against continuous loud and extended music play. Keep the volume at a

moderate level, so that you are better able to hear outside sound and to be

considerate of the people around you.

5. Keep your player away from sinks, drinks, bathtubs, showers, rain, and other sources of

moisture. Moisture can cause electric shocks with any electronic device.

Cleaning Tips

Follow these tips to keep your player working well for a long time:

•Clean your player with a soft lint-free cloth.

•Do not allow young children to use your player unsupervised.

•Never force any connector into the ports of your player or your computer. Make

sure your connectors are the identical shape and size before you connect.

•Do not disassemble, crush, short-circuit or incinerate the battery as it may cause

fire, injury, burns or other hazards.

Important Safety Instructions & Cleaning Tips 3

Important – Hearing Safety Levels Info

READ THIS BEFORE USING YOUR SANSA PLAYER

Congratulations on the purchase of your Sansa media player!

Your media player is equipped with a variety of features. To help you maximize your

listening pleasure, SanDisk would like to advise you that it is important to use your

headphones with your media player at a safe hearing level.

Exposure or repeated exposure for an extended period of time to music and other sounds

that are too loud can cause damage to your hearing resulting in temporary or even

permanent “noise-induced hearing loss”.

Symptoms of hearing loss increase gradually with prolonged exposure at high levels of

volume. Initially, you may not even be aware of the loss unless detected with a hearing test.

Hearing levels

To help you understand what may be considered a safe hearing level, the following examples

are included for your reference.

Examples of Typical Approximate Sound Level:

Sound Level (dB)

Refrigerator humming 40

Normal conversation 60

City traffic 80

Motorcycles and lawnmowers 90 #

Rock concerts 110-120 #

Firearms 120-140 #

* A decibel (dB) is a unit of relative measurement of the strength of sound wave. In decibels

(dB), a measured signal level doubles with every additional 3 dB.

# These sound decibel levels are considered harmful with extended exposure.

Information courtesy of the National Institute of Deafness & Other Communication Disorders

(NIDCD) http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/noise.asp.

For your safety!

Your hearing may adapt to higher volumes of sound. In order to prevent any harmful impact

to your hearing, you must control the sound emanating from your headphones and set the

media player volume to a low setting where you can hear it clearly and comfortably.

Studies, including one from NIDCD indicate that sounds of less than 80 decibels, even after

long exposure, are unlikely to cause a hearing loss. Listen to your media player at such a

level that you can still hear conversation and other people in your environment without

shouting when you attempt to converse.

Important Safety Instructions & Cleaning Tips 4

It can also be dangerous to play your music with headphones/earphones at high volume

while walking or engaged in other activities. You should exercise extreme caution and

discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle.

This may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in some areas.

Disposal Instructions

Do not dispose of this device with unsorted waste. Improper disposal may be harmful to the

environment and human health. Please refer to your local waste authority for information on

return and collection systems in your area.
