Warnings, Cautions and Others

Mises en garde, précautions et indications diverses

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

Le symbole de l’éclair à l’intérieur d’un triangle
équilatéral est destiné à alerter l’utilisateur sur
la présence d’une “tension dangereuse” non
isolée dans le boîtier du produit. Cette tension
est suffisante pour provoquer l’électrocution de
personnes.

Le point d’exclamation à l’intérieur d’un
triangle équilatéral est destiné à alerter
l’utilisateur sur la présence d’opérations
d’entretien importantes au sujet desquelles des
renseignements se trouvent dans le manuel
d’instructions.

WARNING:

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

AVERTISSEMENT:

POUR PRÉVENIR LES RISQUES D’INCENDIE OU
DE CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES, NE PAS EXPOSER CE
APPAREIL À LA PLUIE OU À L’HUMIDITÉ.

For U.S.A.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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.

Pour les Etats-Unis
Attention : Les changements ou les modifications

qui ne sont pas explicitement approuvés par la partie
responsable de l’observance pourraient mettre fin au droit
de l’utilisateur d’utiliser le matériel.
Remarque : Cet appareil a été testé et il s’est avéré
conforme aux limites applicables à un appareil numérique
de classe B, en vertu de la Partie 15 des Règles de la
FCC. Ces limites sont conçues de manière à assurer
une protection raisonnable contre les interférences
nuisibles dans une installation résidentielle. Cet appareil
produit, utilise et peut émettre une énergie de haute
fréquence et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé en conformité
avec les instructions, il peut causer des interférences
nuisibles aux communications radio. Il n’y a, toutefois,
aucune garantie que des interférences ne se produiront
pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet appareil
cause effectivement des interférences nuisibles à la
réception de la radio ou de la télévision, ce qu’on peut
établir en mettant l’appareil en marche et à l’arrêt,
nous encourageons l’utilisateur à tenter de corriger
l’interférence par une ou plusieurs des mesures suivantes :
– réorienter ou déplacer l’antenne de réception ;
– accroître la séparation entre l’appareil et le récepteur ;
– brancher l’appareil dans une prise ou un circuit autre

que celui auquel le récepteur est branché ;

– consulter un vendeur ou un technicien radio/TV

expérimenté pour obtenir de l’aide.

CAUTION

• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth,
etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

• Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.

• When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and local rules or laws governing the disposal of
these batteries must be followed strictly.

• Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.

ATTENTION

• Ne bloquez pas les orifices ou les trous de ventilation. (Si les orifices ou les trous de ventilation sont bloqués par un
journal un tissu, etc., la chaleur peut ne pas être évacuée correctement de l’appareil.)

• Ne placez aucune source de flamme nue, telle qu’une bougie, sur l’appareil.

• Lors de la mise au rebut des piles, veuillez prendre en considération les problèmes de l’environnement et suivre
strictement les règles et les lois locales sur la mise au rebut des piles.

• N’exposez pas cet appareil à la pluie, à l’humidité, à un égouttement ou à des éclaboussures et ne placez pas des objets
remplis de liquide, tels qu’un vase, sur l’appareil.

CAUTION

Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

ATTENTION

Les piles ne doivent en aucun cas être exposées à une chaleur excessive (lumière du soleil, feu, etc.).

CAUTION: Proper Ventilation

To avoid risk of electric shock and fire, and to prevent damage, locate the apparatus as follows:

1. Front: No obstructions and open spacing.

2. Sides/Top/Back: No obstructions should be placed in the areas shown by the dimensions below.

3. Bottom: Place on the level surface. Maintain an adequate air path for ventilation by placing on a stand with a height of 10
cm (3-15/16”) or more.

ATTENTION: Aération correcte

Pour prévenir tout risque de décharge électrique ou d'incendie et éviter toute détérioration, installez l'appareil de la manière
suivante:

1. Avant: Bien dégagé de tout objet.

2. Côtés/dessus/dessous: Assurez-vous que rien ne bloque les espaces indiqués sur le schéma ci-dessous.

3. Dessous: Posez l’appareil sur une surface plane et horizontale. Veillez à ce que sa ventilation correcte puisse se faire en le
plaçant sur un support d’au moins dix centimètres de hauter.

If any items are missing, consult your dealer immediately.

AM/FM antenna

AM loop antenna
(supplied)

Turn it until the best
reception is obtained.

FM antenna (supplied)

Extend it so that you can obtain the
best reception.

To assemble the AM loop antenna

Keep the AM loop antenna cable wrapped around the
AM loop antenna frame, otherwise the effectiveness and
