WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

As the main plug is used to disconnect the unit from the mains, connect the unit to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the unit, disconnect the main plug from the AC outlet immediately.

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.

Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

Do not expose the batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like for a long time.

The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

The following FCC/IC statement applies only to the version of this model manufactured for sale in the U.S.A. and Canada. Other versions may not comply with FCC/IC technical regulations.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

CAUTION

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

This graphical symbol is located on the bottom of the unit.

4-440-743-11(2)

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Notice for the customers in Canada

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the



unit, unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

For AC operation, use the supplied AC power



cord; do not use any other cord.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not



to be used for an extended period of time.

When not using the batteries, remove them to



avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.

On placement

Do not leave the unit in a location near heat



sources, in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock, or in a car subject to the direct rays of the sun.

Do not place the unit on an inclined or



unstable surface.

Do not place anything within 10 mm (



of the rear of the cabinet. The ventilation openings must be unobstructed for the unit to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.

Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers,



keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

On operation

Condensation may form on outer surfaces or



internally, and cause the unit to malfunction if the unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm environment. If condensation forms, turn off the unit, and leave the unit off until the moisture evaporates. Do not use the unit until the condensation has fully evaporated.

On cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls using a



soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

On Bluetooth communication

Bluetooth wireless technology operates within
