IMPORTANT NOTES ......................

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”, please
read and observe the following:

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

304b

• Batteries should always be installed or replaced before connecting any other
devices. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices.

306b

•A battery was installed in the unit before it left the factory. The life of this battery may be
limited, however, since its primary purpose was to enable testing.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will
help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones,
are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or
initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this
unit, or switch them off.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat,
leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature
extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or
humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the
unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this
condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several
hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been
slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated
with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possi­bility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other
controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never
pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the
cable’s internal elements.

558b

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable
levels (especially when it is late at night).

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding)
that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging
materials.
