21Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a)When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

b)If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

c)If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

d)If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

e)If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f)When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

4" (10 cm)	4" (10 cm)
	8" (20 cm)
	4" (10 cm)

" Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

" Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.

"Do not place anything on top of the unit.

"Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temperatures.

"If the system does not work properly, unplug and plug it in again. Then turn on the system.

"In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit

for safety.

" Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal wires.

" Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

"This unit should only be used within the range of 41°F - 95°F (5°C - 35°C).

Warnings:

"The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

"CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch the pickup directly.

! Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.
