9. Power sources: The radio should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
radio dealer or power company.
10. Mains adaptor: The mains adaptor should be positioned so it is
not walked on, pinched, or items placed on top of it.
Pay particular attention to wires at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the unit. Unplug the mains adaptor by gripping the adaptor,
not the wire. Operate the radio using only the current type of
power source indicated. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company.
11. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords. This can result
in a risk of re or electrical shock. Never insert objects of any
kind into the radio through opening. The objects may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause a
re or electrical shock.
12. If the radio is left unattended or unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
caused by lightning or power line surges.

of time, remove the batteries. The batteries may leak and
damage furniture of your radio.
14. Do not attempt to serve the receiver yourself. Removing the
