Notes
• Do not charge the dry batteries.
• When you are not going to use the remote for a long
time, remove the batteries to avoid any damage

Precautions
• Operate the unit on the power sources specified in
“Specifications”.
• 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.
• To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it
out by the plug, not the cord.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior.
• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct
sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock.
Never leave in a car parked under the sun.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and have it checked by a qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets,
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that
block the ventilation holes.
• 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.)
• 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.
