IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
15 Outdoor Ant enna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and suppor ting 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.
16 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning
Important Instruction
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and
power-line surges.
17 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
18
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
19
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
20 Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21 Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
22 Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
23 Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this prod-
uct, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
24 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product should be mounted to a wall
or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

"
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).
Warnings:
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

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.
! 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 while turning the unit
on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.
Make sure to unplug the AC power cord before any connections.
! Antenna connection
Connect the FM/AM loop antenna to the ANTENNA jack.
Position the FM antenna wire and rotate the AM loop antenna for
optimum reception. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf, or attach
it to a stand or a wall.
Notes:
Placing the antenna on the unit or near the AC power cord may
"
cause noise pickup. Place the antenna away from the unit for better reception.
Do not connect the attached FM antenna to an external FM
"
antenna. Otherwise, trouble may occur.

Troubleshooting chart (continued)
" If trouble occurs
When this product is subjected to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may
malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and
plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by
resetting it.
" Clearing all the memory (reset)
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by
mode.
2 While pressing down the MEMORY/SET button and the CLEAR
button, press the ON/STAND-BY button until "CL" appears.
References
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,
timer settings, tuner preset, and CD program.
" 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 with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Maintenance
XL-S10
" Cleaning the CD pickup lens
Do not touch the laser pickup lens. If fingerprints or dust accumulate on the
pickup, clean it gently with a dry cotton
swab.
" Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.).
!
It may damage the cabinet finish.
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-
!
tions.
" Cleaning the tape-handling parts
Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound and
!
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc., unplug the unit which
!
contains high voltages.
Erase head
A
After long use, the deck's heads and capstan may become mag-
!
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions
carefully before use.

" 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 center, along the radius.
