Precautions
"
General
!
Please ensure that the equipment is posit ioned in a well ventilated area and
ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides, top and back
of the equipment.
!
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
!
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,
humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generates electrical noise.
!
Do not place anything on top of the unit.
!
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to
extremely low temperatures.
!
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the wall
socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your system.
!
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
!
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing i t from the wall socket, as
pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
!
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer
internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
!
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with
items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
!
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.
!
This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F).
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product
with a higher voltage other than that which is specified is dangerous and may result
in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which
is specified.
"
Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location,
and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volum e levels, to
avoid this do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music at moderate levels.
"
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on
the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on
with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter wit h a soft cloth before operating t he
unit.
"
Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to
an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum
enjoyment from your CD collection and player.
!
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which
signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
!
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
!
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt , or water on the CDs can
cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a
soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

Setting the FM/AM span selector
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member
countries should maintain either a 100 kHz or a 50 kHz interv al between broadcast ing frequencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustr ation
shows the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) to the
interval (span) of your area.
