•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture,
Locations
•Install the unit in a location that is level and prolected from
moisture.
• The temperature around the unit must be between 5°C and 35°C
(23°F and 95°F).
• Make sure there is good ventila/ion around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When unplugging
the coM, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting coMs and the
antenna. 'lbe power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for anlenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against inlerference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM orAM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces
supplied.
•Remote Control (1)
•Batteries (2)
•AM Loop Antenna (1)
•FMAntenna (1)
•Composite Video Cord (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.
IOn the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2 Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
3Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
