Precautions
„General
zPlease 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 unit.
zDo not place anything on top of the unit.
zDo not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F)
or to extremely low temperatures.
zIf 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.
zThis 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, loca-
tion, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume
levels, which occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up
high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
„Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur
due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below
for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.
zDo not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from
which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
zKeep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
zAlways hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can
cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it
with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.
zUse the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibra-
tion.
zKeep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong
magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and
electronic/electrical equipment (home comput-
ers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical
noise.
zIn case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for
safety.
zHoldtheACpowerplugbytheheadwhenremoving
it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can dam-
age internal wires.
