Cautions
Water Resistant (Splash Proof)
This unit is splash-proof and is not designed to be used
under water.
Please note the following points to avoid possible dam­
age to the unit and the included headphones.
*Do not immerse in water.
•Do not splash water onto the unit.
•Water in the headphones jack, OUT jack, and DC
IN jack may damage the unit. Cover them with the
attached rubber caps when they are not in use.
•To prevent water from entering the unit, the dual
locks should be locked to close the disc lid.
• If the unit or the headphones get wet with water or
sweat, dry them with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the disc lid near water or sand. Before
opening or closing the disc lid, be sure to wipe off
water, dust or sand on the unit and operate with a dry
hand.
•Make sure there is no sand or dust around the disc lid.
The disc lid will not seal properly if there is, and water
may get into the unit, possibly causing a malfunction.
•Do not expose the unit or the headphones to salt
water. If the unit and headphones are immersed in salt
water, wash them with a little fresh water then dry with
soft cloth. Never wash them under running water.
•Do not place the unit and the headphones for a long
period of time in high temperature and high humidity
areas such as bathrooms or damp basements, etc.
Rechargeable batteries
►Only the P-3GAVA/2B, SH-CDB8D batteries can be
recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very
short time after recharging, it means that the batteries’
service life is over. Do not use them any more.
•When recharging batteries for the first time or when
they have not been used for a long period of time, the
play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like
this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries.
This wilt restore them to their regular state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals
of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-
circuiting which is dangerous.
•Do not peel off the plastic covering on the recharge­
able batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is
dangerous.
Dry cell batteries/rechargeable
batteries
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leak­
age, heed the following points.
•Align the © and 0 polarities properly when inserting
the batteries.
• Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old
and new batteries.
•Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit
for a long period of time.
•Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-
circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.
•Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying dry cell batteries/
rechargeable batteries around
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a
pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such
as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact
with metal may cause short-circuiting which, in turn,
may cause a tire.
Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable batteries in
the battery carrying case.
When purchasing rechargeable
batteries
As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made
by Panasonic have a construction designed to make it
impossible to recharge ordinary batteries.
To use rechargeable batteries, be absolutely sure to
purchase the rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries designed es­
pecially (or this unit.
Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:
P-3GAVA72B, SH'CDBSD (set of 2)

SL-SWe7Q ONLY |
•Do not wear the headphones with the VMSS unit to

Listening caution
®)
¡SranNs
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high
volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous ex­
tended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
Do not use white operating a motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discon­
tinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones is an open-air
type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don't turn
up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around
you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “com­
fort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what
sounds “normal" can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe
level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
•Start your volume control at a low setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it com­
fortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
•Set the dial and leave it there.
