NOTES

1. Units shipped to the U.S.A. and CANADA are designed to be

operated with 120 volts AC only. Units shipped to the Scan
dinavian countries are designed to be operated with 220 volts
AC only. Units shipped to the U.K. are designed to be
operated with 240 volts AC only. Therefore the above units
are not equipped with an AC Voltage Selector Switch so all
reference to such a switch throughout this manual should be

disregarded.

2. Units shipped to all other countries are equipped with an AC

Voltage Selector Switch on the rear panel that is preset at

the factory to the voltage generally available in the destina
tion area. It is very important, however, to check the Volt
age Selector Switch setting and make sure that it corresponds

to your line voltage before connection the power cord into
an AC outlet. If the Voltage Selector Switch requires re-set

ting, follow the directions outlined on page 5.

CONCERNING TRANSISTORS

Transistors differ fundamentally from radio vacuum tubes and

require special attention to ensure their full performance capabilities.
Given proper care, transistors will provide years of practically trouble-
free performance.
(a) Avoid locations subject to direct sunlight.

(b) Avoid high or low temperature extremes.
(c)

Keep the tuner away from heat radiating sources.

GROUND

Although broadcasts can be received without a ground connection,

it is recommended that a good ground connection be made to a buried

grounding rod or water pipe to reduce interference and ensure safety.

Never use a gas pipe for a ground connection, however.
