Warnings and Precautions

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.

This symbol, located on back or bottom of the unit, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that

may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock to persons.

This symbol, located on back or bottom of the unit, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.

This product utilizes a Class 1 laser to read Compact
Discs. This laser Compact Disc Player is equipped with
safety switches to avoid exposure when the CD door
is open and the safety interlocks are defeated. Invisible
laser radiation is present when the CD Player’s lid
is open and the system’s interlock has failed or been
defeated. It is very important that you avoid direct
exposure to the laser beam at all times. Please do not
attempt to defeat or bypass the safety switches.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,
FULLY INSERT.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove
cover (or back). There are no user-serviceable parts

inside. Please refer any servicing to qualied service

personnel.

Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.

NOTE: 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 a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

WARNING: Changes or modications to this unit

not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.

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

from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including

ampliers) that produce heat. Battery shall not

be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,

re, or the like.

26. Main plug is used as disconnect device and
