carefully.Takespecialcaretofollowthewarningsindicatedon theunititselfaswellasthesafetysuggestionslistedbelow. Afterwardskeepthemhandyforfuturereference.

Power Source -- The unit should be connected to power sup- ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or

as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC

power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safe- ty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug

body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods --When the unit is not used, turn the power

off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Installation

Environment

1. Water and Moisture -- Do not use this unit near water-for ex-

ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. Damp basements should also be avoided.

2. Condensation -- Moisture may form on the lens in the follow-

ing cases...

• immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• in a steamy or very humid room.

• when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to

a warm one.

If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly.

To correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one

hour for the moisture to evaporate.

3. Heat -- The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators and the like. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 35°C

(95 °F).

6. Carts and Stands -- The unit should be used only with a cart

or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

The unit and cart combination should be mov-

ed with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the unit and cart com-

bination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The unit should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instruc-

tions.

Maintenance

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent

such as alcohol or benzine.

Service

Damage Requiring Service -- The unit should be serviced by

qualified service personnel when:

(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;

(b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit;

marked change in performance; or

(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

Servicing -- The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

Placement

1. Ventilation -- The unit should be situated so that its location

or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow

10 cm (4") clearance from the rear of the unit.

2. Foreign Material -- Care should be taken so that objects do

not fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not sub- ject this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

Battery installation

Method for use

Check the (+) and (-) sides.

When you need to replace these batteries Use two UM-4 "/V_A'°, tECR03 (1.5 V) or equivalent batteries.

Battery notes

Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types

(carbon and alkaline, etc.).

Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and dispose of them properly.

Use the remote control within 60 degrees and within 7 meters (23

ft.) facing directly toward the changer's remote control signal sen-

sor.

Remote control signal sensor

CD changer

\ i

Avoidany obstacles.

<222>

About 7 meters in front of the sensor. (The actual

range will depend on the angle at which the remote control is used.)

The average battery life is about one year. Although the battery life varies depending on how often the device is used, you should generally replace the batteries about once a year.

The batteries should be replaced if commands from the remote control transmitter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is held close to the front panel.

Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not at-

tempt to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-cir- cuited.

If you will not use the remote control for a long period of time,

remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

If a battery leaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them pro-

perly. Thoroughly clean the battery compartment before inser- ting new batteries.

If the leaking electrolyte comes into contact with skin or clothes,

flush with water immediately.

Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Do not use rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) type batteries.

Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon batteries.

Do not dispose of used batteries in household rubbish.

Be sure the transmissionwindowand the unit'ssensorare free

from dust. Excessivedustmightaffect performance.
