IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This receiver is made and tested to meet
exacting safety standards. It meets both
UL and FCC requirements and complies
with safety performance standards of the
US Department of Health and Human
Services.
Careful attention is devoted to quality standards in the
manufacture of your cassette deck, and safety is a major
factor in its design. However, safety is also your
responsibility.
This section lists important information that will help you
properly use and enjoy your cassette deck and accessories.
Read all the included safety and operating instructions
before using your cassette deck, follow them closely, and
retain them for future reference.

recommended by the product manufacturer, as they might
create a hazard.
Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near
water (for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming
pool).
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
Accessories — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for mounting, and use a recommended mounting
accessory.
Carts — Move the product on a cart carefully. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
product/cart to overturn.
Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide
ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect from
overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and
do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. Do not place the product in a built-in
bookcase or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as
specified by the manufacturer.
Power Sources — Operate this product using only the power source indicated
on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home’s power type, consult your
product dealer or local power company.
Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.
Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the product.
Lightning — For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids — Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
