z

Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of bat­tery disposal.

z

This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C
(41°F - 95°F).

Warnings:

z

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.

z

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.

z

This product is equipped with a cooling fan inside, which begins
to run at a specified volume level 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.

Condensation

„

Sudden temperature changes, storage or
operation in an extremely humid environ­ment may cause condensation inside the
cabinet (CD pickup, 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 in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any con­densation on the transmitter with a soft cloth
before operating the unit.
