NOTE

FOR USE IN THE U.S.A.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

—Connect the equipment into an outlet on circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

CAUTION

Modifications or adjustments to this product, which are not expressly approved by the manufacturer, may void the user’s right or authority to operate this product.

PRECAUTIONS

•Ensure to remove the cassette tape from the cassette compartment of the unit when you are not using the unit.

•Do not let cassette tapes come in contact with direct sunlight, dirt or dust. Do not touch the tape inside a cassette as doing so may contaminate the tape surface.

•Do not leave cassette tapes near electric motors or magnets. Store them separately to avoid unwanted noise or loss of tone quality.

•Use a cleaning cassette to clean the playback head and capstans approximately once a month.

If the playback head is dirty, the high tone sound may not be reproduced properly.

•Keep screwdrivers etc. or other metallic or magnetic objects away from the playback head.

•When your car is parked under direct sunlight in summer, there may be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car. Ensure to let the ambient temperature cool down before playing a cassette tape.

•This unit is designed to be operated on a 12 volt DC negative ground electrical system only.

•When replacing the fuse, be sure to use the fuse whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a fuse with higher amperage may cause serious damage to the unit.

CAUTION

•There is a transit protection pad in the cassette compartment.

Be sure to remove the pad and push the eject button before operating the unit.

SECURITY LAMP

The LED lamp on the front side of unit is visible when the control panel is detached. This lamp continues to flash to deter theft while the car’s ignition key is turned off with the control panel detached. However, this unit is not equipped with the security alarm system that sounds an audible alarm, therefore there are limitations to this anti theft device.
