Precautions
Operate the unit only on the power sources specified in

C) batteries. For AC operation, use only the supplied
AC power adaptor. Do not use any other type of AC
power adaptor.
The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F). If it is used in temperatures higher
than this range, numbers may appear in the display
which have nothing to do with the frequency being
received. If it is used in temperatures lower than this
range, the numbers displayed may change very slowly.
(These irregularities will disappear and there will be no
damage to the unit when the unit is used in the
recommended temperature range.)
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct
sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock.
Never leave in a car parked in the sun.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
disconnect the AC power adaptor and remove the
batteries, and have the unit checked by a qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
Do not drop objects such as clips or coins into the CD
slot. If this happens, disconnect the AC power adaptor
and remove the batteries, and have the unit checked by
a qualified personnel before operating it any further.
Be careful of objects/people around you when carrying
the unit by its handle.
In vehicles or buildings, radio reception may be
difficult or noisy. Try listening near a window.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
away personal credit cards using magnetic coding or
spring-wound watches from the unit to prevent
possible damage from the magnet.
To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a
mild detergent solution.
