Precautions
• Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of heat. Do not leave
it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long time with
the doors and windows closed as this may deform the cabinet.
• Avoid cuts, scratches, or poor connections in the AC mains lead,
as they may result in possible fire or electric shock hazard. Also,
excessive bending, pulling or splicing of the lead should be avoided.
• Do not unplug the AC mains lead by pulling on the lead. To do so
may cause premature failure or shock hazard.
• Do not operate this unit in a bathroom, as a potential shock hazard
may result.
• When not in use, disconnect the AC mains lead from the household
mains socket.
Use of batteries
• If this unit is not used for a long period of time or is used only
from an AC power source, remove all the batteries to prevent
potential damage due to possible battery leakage.
• Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to
contact flame or water.
• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.
• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
• Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can damage other items, cause damage to
the unit, and may cause a fire through short-circuiting or electrolyte
leakage.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any
part of your body.
Memory back-up
When the power supply is interrupted, radio stations you have set
are saved if you have inserted back-up batteries (not included).
These batteries do not power the unit.
(R6/LR6, AA, UM-3)
When to change the batteries
The batteries last about a year.
Connect the unit to AC power before replacing the batteries.
Before connecting or disconnecting the AC mains lead, press
[TAPE/OFF] and stop the tape to turn the unit off. The memory
batteries are worn out faster if the cord is disconnected with the power
still on.
Removing the batteries
Open the battery cover and insert
your finger in the hole on the
bottom of the unit and push out.
(Remove the power batteries first.)
