Important Safety Instructions PLEASE READ THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR SANSA MEDIA 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 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.

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 Normal conversation City traffic Motorcycles and lawnmowers Rock concerts Firearms 40 60 80 90 # 110-120 # 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 3 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.
