OPERATING THIS UNIT AND RETAIN THIS BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE  
 
DEAR HELLO KITTY® CUSTOMER  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical  
enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.  
This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get  
the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and  
clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort 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 comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want  
you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing  
damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic  
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to  
excessive noise.  
Customer's Record:  
The serial number of this product is found on its battery compartment. You should note the serial number  
of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the  
theft of loss.
