Before You Start

Please take note of the following before you start.

• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes.

• Avoid installing the unit in the locations described below:
  • Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat radiating appliances (such as electric heaters, or on top of other stereo equipment that radiates heat).
  • Places lacking ventilation or dusty places.
  • Places subject to constant vibration.
  • Places that are humid or moist.

• Operate turning controls and switches as instructed in the manual.

• Before turning on the power for the first time, make sure that the power cord is properly installed.

• Store your tapes or CD in a cool area to avoid damage from heat.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: Remove batteries if exhausted or if they will not be used again for a long period. The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst, therefore:

• Do not mix battery types, e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate.
• When inserting new batteries, replace all batteries at the same time.
