PRECAUTIONS
• This unit IS designed to be operated on a 12-volt
DC negative-ground electrical system only.
♦To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect the
negative car battery terminal until the unit has
been mounted and connected completely.
•When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a
fuse of higher amperage may cause serious
damage to the unit.
• Keep screwdrivers, etc. and other metallic or
magnetic objects away from the playback head.
•When your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before
operating it.
• Keep the volume at such a level that you can
hear outside warning sounds (horns, sirens,
etc.).
Notes on cassettes
Do NOT expose cassettes to direct sunlight,
extremely high or cold temperature or moisture.
Keep cassettes away from equipment with built-
in magnets to avoid unwanted noise or loss of
sound quality.
Do NOT touch the tape of a cassette, as any dirt
or dust will contaminate the heads.
Be sure to remove any cassette from the unit if
you are not using it.
