The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within a
triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within your boombox’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying your boombox.
Read instructions
Read all the safety and operating instructions before you use your
boombox.
Your boombox utilizes a Class 1 laser to
read Compact Discs. Your boombox is
equipped with safety switches to avoid
exposure when the CD door is open and
the safety interlocks are defeated. Invisible
laser radiation is present when the CD
door is open and the system's interlock
has failed or been defeated. You should
avoid direct exposure to the laser beam at
all times. Do not attempt to defeat or
bypass the safety switches.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
your boombox to rain or moisture.
Warning
Any use of the controls or an adjustment to the procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation.
Caution
Any change or modification to your boombox not expressly
approved by Insignia or its authorized parties could void
your authority to operate your boombox.
Caution
Your boombox should not be exposed to water (dripping or
splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on it.

Retain instructions
Retain safety and operating instructions for future reference.
Follow warnings and instructions
Follow all warnings on your boombox and in the operating
instructions. Follow all operating and use instructions.
Grounding or polarization
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a grounding prong. The wide
blade or grounding prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does
not fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Placement
When placing your boombox on a lacquered or natural finish, protect
your furniture with a cloth or other protective material.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and
moisture.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, reliable operation, and protection from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not
block the openings by placing your boombox on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface.
Water and moisture
Do not use your boombox near water. For example, do not use it near
a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
Do not let water slash or drip onto your boombox. Do not place
objects containing liquids, such as a vase, on top of your boombox.
The AC power adapter is used as the disconnect device. It should
remain readily accessible and should not be obstructed during use.
To completely disconnect power, the AC power adapter should be
unplugged from the AC power outlet completely.
The marking plate of the AC adapter is located on the bottom of the
adapter.
