rain or moisture.
Surge protectors:
We recommend that you use a surge protector when you use the AC power cord
with this boombox. Lightning and power surges ARE NOT covered under the

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

Placement
When placing your boombox on a lacquered or natural finish, protect your

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.

splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on
it.
