Safety precautions
Handling
• Do not apply an excessive force to the display part. Otherwise, it may be damaged.
• Avoid storing the player in a bag together with a hard object. Otherwise, the player may
be damaged when the bag is pushed.
• Do not expose the player to an insecticide or other volatile substance or bring the player
in extended contact with a rubber or vinyl material. Otherwise, discoloration or peeling of
the surface finish may result.
• Do not put the player in a pocket of trousers. Otherwise, it may be damaged due to a
strong impact when you sit down, etc.
• Protect the player against sweat and moisture.
Do not use the player by putting it in a breast pocket for long hours in the summer or
during exercise. Otherwise, penetration of moisture or sweat may cause malfunction or
failure.
Operating conditions
Temperature: 5 to 35°C. (without condensation)
Caution on condensation
Condensation (of dew) may occur inside the unit when there is a great difference in
temperature between this unit and the outside. This unit may not function properly if
condensation occurs. In this case, leave the unit for a few hours and restart the operation
after the condensation has dried up.
Be specially cautious against condensation in the following circumstances:
When this unit is carried from one place to another across a large difference in temperature,
when the humidity in the room where this unit is installed increases, etc.
Maintenance of the unit
When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. for these agents may cause discoloration.
In regard to contact cleaner
Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful not
to use contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic component.
Note on the built-in battery
• For the replacement of the built-in battery, contact your dealer.
• The battery built into the player discharges spontaneously even when the player is not
used. This means that the built-in battery may be exhausted completely when the player
is left unused for a long period. If this happens, recharge the battery before using the
player.
• The battery recharging time is variable depending on the condition of the battery and
ambient temperature.
• The available playback time reduces when the player is used under low temperatures.
• The built-in battery can be recharged for about 500 times. (This is a reference value and is
not guaranteed.)
• The built-in battery is a consumable part, and the available playback time reduces
gradually after repeated use. If the available playback time becomes very short even after
the battery has been recharged fully, the battery may be degraded; replace it with new
one.
• Kenwood will not assume any liabilities for the alteration or loss of data caused due to
complete discharging of the built-in battery.
• The built-in battery is a lithium ion battery.
It is free from the memory effect of Ni-Cad and nickel-hydrogen batteries, with which the
capacity decreases if the battery is charged or discharged incompletely for several times.
The built-in battery therefore accepts additional charging before it has exhausted
completely.
