Caution

Please read the following before

installing the unit

 Due to its heavy weight, the unit should be installed

with great care.

 Installation of the unit requires two persons.

 Use tools carefully while installing of the unit.

 Be sure that the cabinet that is used is sturdy enough

to support the weight of the unit.

 To reduce the risk of fire, do not place any heating or

cooking appliance beneath this unit.

 Install the unit so that its AC power cord can be

connected directly to a wall outlet. Do not use a

converter or extension cord.

 Be sure that the AC power cord has no slack during

use of the unit, since the cord acts as an FM wire

antenna. If the AC power cord has some slack, wind

it around the cord hook so as to eliminate the slack.

 The unit has a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM

radio reception. Confirm that AM reception is

acceptable before finally attaching the unit.

 Install the unit as far as possible from sources of

noise (for example, a refrigerator, microwave oven or

fluorescent lamp).

 This unit is not waterproof. Install it where it will

not be exposed to splashing by water, as this may

damage the unit.

 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

touch the AC power cord with wet hands.

 Never place objects between the top of the unit and

the bottom of the cabinet. This could cause the unit

to fall.

 Make sure the unit’s four screws are fastened tightly.

 After installing the unit, do not pull down on it or

hang something heavy on it.

1

Decide on the installation location and

orientation of the unit based on the best

reception that is possible (see “Improving

the reception”).

2

Mark the position of the 4 holes by using

the supplied template. Use a drill to make

the holes (size 6.5 mm diam.,

9

/

32

inch). (See

Fig. -)

3

When the cabinet door overhangs the shelf

and obstructs the unit, you can adjust the

unit/shelf height.

First set the L mark to the dot which

becomes the lowest position, then you

can adjust the height in 4 steps (HL)

by turning the spacer counterclockwise

(See Fig. -). The unit can be installed

without the spacer.

4

Install the unit with the supplied mounting

screws. (See Fig. -)

Note

If you lose the supplied screws, please purchase #10 or

M5 screws.
