Troubleshooting Precautions
On safety This warranty is valid only in the United States. Esta garanta slo es vlida en los Estados Unidos.
Make sure to keep the player in the supplied carrying pouch. If the terminals on the player, charger, or battery case are accidently brought into contact with a metallic object, they may short-circuit and begin to heat up. Keep the terminals on the player or on the battery case away from metallic objects or surfaces. Such contact may short-circuit the terminals and cause dangerous heat generation. When carrying the player with you, always keep the battery case attached to the player and the player in the supplied carrying pouch. When you carry the supplied rechargeable battery, be sure to put it in the supplied rechargeable battery carrying case. Carrying the rechargeable battery without the case may cause a short-circuit with metallic objects such as coins, key rings, or necklace. As a result, a heat may generate. Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 1.5V jack. Do not carry or store the dry battery or battery case in the same place with metallic objects such as coins, key rings, or necklaces. This may cause a short-circuit to occur and the generation of heat. Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting batteries. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions: Install batteries with the + and poles aligned correctly. Do not charge dry batteries. If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new one.

If you are not going to use this player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (AC power adaptor, dry battery, or rechargeable battery). To remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never pull the cord.
