C. Crane CC Solar Observer Radio - Manual (Page 10)

To prevent damage to your radio or possible injury to you or others, read these safe-
ty precautions and instructions entirely before applying power to your radio. Keep
these precautions and instructions where all who use this radio will read them.
1) COMMON CARE m
Check the radio and any accessories regularly. Do not use the radio if there is
any sign of damage. Only operate in accordance with the in struc tions in this
manual. Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer.
NOTE: If radio is unused for more than 6 months, we recommend winding the
crank for at least 30 seconds to help keep the battery healthy. Thereafter we
recommend charging the battery fully before returning to storage.
2) DISCONNECT THE RADIO IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION m
If you smell or notice smoke, disconnect the optional AC Adapter immediately,
taking care to avoid burns. Contact C. Crane Company or their representative
for inspection and service before any future operation. Only use the AC-DC
Adapter recommended with the unit and replace it if wires become frayed or
exposed. It should have an output of 5 Volts 300mA DC. Use only the recom-
mended adapter. Otherwise it may damage the radio or cause a fire or electric
shock.
3) KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN m
Dropping the radio can cause damage or injury. Keep the AC Adapter cord in
a position so someone cannot trip and cause the radio to fall.
4) KEEP AWAY FROM WATER AND MOISTURE m
Keep the radio dry. Liquids and moisture can damage the radio. If a liquid
leaks into the radio do not operate and seek a qualified service shop. To clean
the radio, remove the power and use a damp cloth on the exterior only.
5) KEEP AWAY FROM EXTREME TEMPERATURES m
Extreme temperatures can damage the radio. Do not leave or use the radio
where it can be subjected to high temperatures like inside a car.
Caution: Some windows may intensify the sun’s effect on your radio, causing
melting or a potential fire hazard.
6) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE RADIO m
Refer all service work to a qualified service shop when the radio does not
appear to operate normally, exhibits a change in performance or the radio has
received damage. Never open the radio as this may expose you to dangerous
voltages and this will void all warranties.
7) OUTSIDE ANTENNAS OR CABLES m
Outside antennas or cables that create a potential hazard should not be used
with this radio unless installed by qualified personnel.
