IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated, and should be retained for future reference.
Electrical energy can perform many useful func­tions. This unit has been engineered and manuf ac­tured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire haz­ards. In order not to def eat the safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1 Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance
and in the operating instructions should be ad­hered to.
2 Follow Instructions - All operating and use instruc-
tions should be followed.
3 Water and Moisture - The appliance should not
be used near water - for example, near a bath­tub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a w et basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
4 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.
5 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom­mended by the manufacturer.
6 V entilation - The appliance should be situated so
that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. F or example , the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or , placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
7 Heat - The appliance should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat regis­ters, stoves, or other appliances (including am­plifiers) that produce heat.
8 Power Sources - The appliance should be con-
nected to a power supply only of the type de­scribed in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
9 Power-Cord Protection - 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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
10Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
11Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be
located away from power lines.
12Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside an-
tenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the Na­tional Electrical Code, ANSI/NFP A No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis­charge unit, size of grounding conductors, lo­cation of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

13Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appli-
ance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
14Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
15Damage Requir ing Service - The appliance
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 appliance; or
C The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D The appliance does not appear to operate nor-
mally or exhibits a marked change in perform­ance; or
E The appliance has been dropped, or the enclo-
sure damaged.
16Servicing - The user should not attempt to serv-
ice the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
17 Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should
be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.

PRECAUTIONS
General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned
in a well ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 4" (10cm) of free space along the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 8" (20cm) of free space on the top of the unit.
Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or insecticides on the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to tempera­tures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extreme low temperatures.
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home comput­ers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when re­moving it from the AC outlet, since pulling the cord 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.
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration, and do not place anything on the top of the unit.
If the unit malfunctions while in use, press the POWER button to enter the stand-by mode , then disconnect the AC power cord from the AC out­let. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then press the POWER button to turn the power on.
If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is suggested that you disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet for safety.
Volume control
The sound level at a given v olume setting depends on a combination of speaker efficiency , location and various other factors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occur while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while con­tinually listening at high volumes.
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or opera­tion in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter LED on the re­mote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmit­ter LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
Warning:
CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed directly . Do not look at the pic kup, and do not touch the pickup directly.
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that speci­fied on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than 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.

Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the FM 75 OHMS terminal and position the FM antenna wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received.
Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wire to the AM and GND terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum recep­tion. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not sup­plied).
Notes:
When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections.
Do not place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire on the unit. It may result in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital electronics. Place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire away from the unit f or better reception.
If the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire are placed near the AC power cord, interference may result.

Precautions for battery use:
Insert the batteries according to the direction in­dicated in the battery compartment.
Replace all old batter ies with new ones at the same time.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the
unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage.
Caution:
Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).
Notes concerning use:
Replace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced or if the operation becomes erratic.
Periodically clean the transmitter LED on the remote control and the sensor on the main unit with a soft cloth.
Exposing the sensor on the main unit to strong light may interfere with operation. Change the lighting or the direction of the unit.
Keep the remote control away from moisture, excessive heat, shock, and vibrations.
