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.
