Precautions
 General
 Do not place anything on top of the unit.
 Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60˚C
(140˚F) or to extremely low temperatures.
 If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from
the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your
system.
 In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
 Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket,
as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
 The AC power plug/ AC power input socket is used as disconnect device
and shall always remain readily operable.
 Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock.
Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
 The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings
with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
 No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
 Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
The apparatus is designed for used in moderate climate.
 This unit should only be used within the range of 5˚C - 35˚C (41˚F - 95˚F).
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this
product with a higher voltage other than that which is specified is dangerous
and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will
not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a
voltage other than that which is specified.

Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency,
location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high vol-
ume levels, which occurs whilst turning the unit on with the volume control set-
ting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
 Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid
environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (tape heads, etc.) or
on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the
power on with no cassette in the unit until normal playback is possible (about
1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before
operating the unit.
 Cleaning the tape-handling parts
 Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams.
Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/
pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
 When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which contains
high voltages.
 After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become magnetised,
causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of
playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser.
Read the demagnetiser's instructions carefully before use.
 Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then
with a dry cloth.
Caution:
 Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may
damage the cabinet finish.
 Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
 Please ensure that the equipment is
positioned in a well-ventilated area and
ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4")
of free space along the sides, top and
back of the equipment.
 Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
 Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive
dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers,
facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.

broadcasting frequencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for MW stations.
The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10
kHz zone (region 2).
This product is not equipped with a span selector. However, it will be adjusted
to a 50 kHz FM (9 kHz MW) interval when shipped from the factory.
Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the FM/MW tuning interval (span)
used in your area.
To change the FM/MW tuning interval:
Caution:
 When the unit is left for a few hours after the span has been switched and
the AC power lead disconnected, the FM span will be automatically
returned to 50 kHz (MW span to 9 kHz). If this happens, set the span again.
 When the span is switched, all the memorised stations will be cancelled.
