XL-UR5H Precautions

General Information

General

Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides, top and back of the equipment.

10 cm (4")	10 cm (4")	10 cm (4")
		10 cm (4")

Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

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.

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60˚C (140˚F) or to extremely low temperatures.

If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead 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 removing it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

The AC power plug is used as disconnect device 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.

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).

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. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

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. Do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music at moderate levels. Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

Notes concerning use:

Replace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced or if the operation becomes erratic. Purchase 2 “AAA” size batteries (UM- 4, R03, HP-16 or similar).

Periodically clean the transmitter on the remote control and the sensor on the unit with a soft cloth.

Exposing the sensor on the unit to strong light may interfere with operation. Change the lighting or the direction of the unit if this occurs.

Keep the remote control away from moisture, heat, shock, and vibrations.
