English 1 Important Safety 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.
• • 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. Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Warning •• •• •• •• •• Never remove the casing of this unit. Never lubricate any part of this unit.
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 correspond 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).
