Precautions

Notes on the power cord

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of power (2.3 W) is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System

or moving the System.

• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

• If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the power cord replaced with a new one.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures

• Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.

• If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and

remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

Notes on installation

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold between 5˚C and 35˚C.

• Do not install the System in a place subject to vibrations.

• Do not put heavy objects on the System.

To prevent malfunction or damage of the System

• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the System.

• Do not block the vents.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

NOTES

• Store the battery in a place where children cannot reach. If a child accidentally swallows the battery, consult a doctor immediately.

• Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the battery or dispose of it in a fire. Doing any of these things may cause the battery to give off heat, crack, or start a fire.

• Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials. Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat, crack, or start a fire.

• When throwing away or saving the battery, wrap it in tape and insulate; otherwise, the battery may start to give off heat, crack, or start a fire.

• Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools. Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat, crack, or start a fire.

• Dispose of battery in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• The batteries (battery pack or batteries installed ) shall not be exposed to excessive heat source such as sunshine, fire or the like.

CAUTION:

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Connections

Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.

NOTES

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the power cord. This could cause poor reception.

• If the cords are covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the cord by twisting it.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.

• DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker cords to be in contact with any metallic parts of the System.

AM loop antenna (supplied)

Turn it until the best reception is obtained.

To assemble the AM loop antenna

To connect the AM loop antenna

To a wall outlet
