FCC information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this product. This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

•Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

•Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving

interference are on different branch circuits. If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for

additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR subchapter J. Applicable at the date of manufacture.

user book. Save all instructions for future
reference.

•Do not expose product to extreme temperatures such as found near a hot radiator or stove, or in a car parked in the Summer sun.

•Connect power cord only to AC power source as marked on the product.

•Some products employ a polarized AC line plug (one blade is wider). This is a safety feature. The plug will go in the power outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and put it in the other way. If it still doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

•Route power cord to prevent it from being pinched, or walked on, or melted by a hot stove or radiator.

•To clean cabinet, unplug AC power cord, then use a soft cloth dampened only with water.

•Do not place lighted candles, cigarettes, cigars, etc. on the product.

•Unplug AC power cord from outlet during a lightning storm or when product is left unused for a long period of time to prevent damage due to lightning or power line surges.

•Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids do not spill into the product.

•Never add accessories that the product has not been designed to accommodate.

•Use only the manufacturer’s approved mounting instructions and hardware when installing product.

•Do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. This product does not contain customer serviceable components.

•Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp.

•Carts and Stands — The appliance

should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

•An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

•Damage Requiring Service–This product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power supply cord or the plug has been

damaged; or

B.Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the product; or

C.The product has been exposed to rain; or

D.The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E.The product has been dropped, or the cabinet damaged.

•When service or repairs are completed, ask the service technician to perform the safety check described in the service manual and to confirm that replacement parts have the same safety characteristics as the original parts.

•Overloading - Do not overload the wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

•IF YOUR PRODUCT OPERATES ON BATTERIES, adhere to the following precautions:

A.Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, or if all batteries are not replaced at the same time.

B.Any battery may leak electrolyte or explode if disposed of in fire or an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

C.Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper manner, according to provincial and local regulations.

•IF YOUR PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH ANTENNA TERMINALS, and if an outdoor antenna is connected, be sure the system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surge and built-up static charges. An outdoor antenna should be locate away from power lines.

•IF PRODUCT IS TO BE CONNECTED TO A CATV SYSTEM, call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Important information

English

For your safety

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the

other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the

plug will not go into the outlet

completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

•Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located inside the disc compartment. To keep dust from collecting on the pick-up lens, do not leave the compartment door open for an extended period of time. If the lens becomes dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or use an air blower brush designed for camera lenses.

•The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

•No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

•Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

•Minimum distances should be kept around the apparatus for sufficient ventilation.

•The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation opening with items, such as newspaper, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

•The rating plate is located at the bottom cabinet of apparatus.
