The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from non-observance of the safety instructions. Do not expose the device to excessive heat caused by placing it on a heating device or in direct sunlight. The device supports microSD memory cards up to 32 GB in capacity (optimized for class 6 or higher).
The memory card must always be formatted in the device to ensure that the format is correct. Formatting the memory card with a computer can lead to eventual errors when reading or writing data. Set the volume to a moderate level and do not use headphones to listen for excessively long periods of time.
Be extra careful not to adjust the volume to a level that your hearing cannot handle. Don't turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's going on around you. The manufacturer guarantees compliance with the maximum sound power of its audio players as determined by the relevant regulatory authorities, but only with the original model of the supplied headphones.
The use of the device's recording function is subject to the legal restrictions that may apply in your country.
