noise.
10 cm (4")
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for
safety.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing
it 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).

General Information
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. SHAR P will not be held
responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than
that which is specified.
CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed directly. Do
not look at the pickup, and do not touch the pickup directly.
This product is equipped with a cooling fan on its back for better heat radiation.
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 volume levels,
which occurs whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or
whilst continually listening at high volumes.
Care of compact discs
Compact di scs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracki ng 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 surfa ce.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerpr ints, 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 t he centre, along the radius.
Please confirm that the following accessories are included.
