Precautions

• Operate the unit only on the power sources specified in “Specifications.”

• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is

used in temperatures higher than this range, numbers may appear in the display

which have nothing to do with the frequency being received. If it is used in

temperatures lower than this range, the numbers displayed may change very

slowly. (These irregularities will disappear and there will be no damage to the

unit when the unit is used in the recommended temperature range.)

• Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a radiator or

airduct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical

vibration, or shock.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it

checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place

the unit on a surface (a rug, blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain) that

might block the ventilation holes.

• Never touch the wire of the external antenna during a thunderstorm.

Furthermore, immediately disconnect the AC power cord from the radio.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep away personal credit cards

using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches from the unit to prevent

possible damage from the magnet.

• To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.
