e)
aged in any way, and When the product exhibits a distinct
f)
change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

Precautions

General

Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in
a well-ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 4” (10 cm) of free space along the sides and top of the equipment.
10 cm (4”)
Use the unit on a rm, level surface free from
vibration. Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong
magnetic elds, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise. Do not place anything on top of the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to tempera-
tures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temperatures. If your system does not work properly, disconnect
the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord 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 remov-
ing it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal wires. The AC power plug is used as a disconnect de-
vice and shall always remain readily operable.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may
result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
This unit should only be used within the range of
41°F - 95°F (5°C - 35°C).

Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on unit efficiency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.
