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.

WARNING: The remote control’s button cell battery
contains mercury. Do not put in the trash, instead
recycle or dispose of as hazardous waste

WARNING: Use of this unit near uorescent lighting

may cause interference regarding use of the remote. If
the unit is displaying erratic behavior move away from

any uorescent lighting, as it may be the cause.

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.

WARNING: Danger of explosion if the remote
control’s batteries are incorrectly installed. Replace
only with the same or equivalent battery.

of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instruction.

12. Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than

the other). This plug will t into the power outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, contact your electrician

overload protection as the original plug.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with

regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

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 qualied 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
