Precautions
 General
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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. Us-
ing this product with a higher voltage other than that which is speci-
fied is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident
causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any dam-
age 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 effi-
ciency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid ex-
posure to high volume levels, which occurs whilst turning the unit on
with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening
at high volumes.
 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 equip-
ment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generate electrical noise.
 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.
 Do not remove the outer cover, as this
may result in electric shock. Refer inter-
nal service to your local SHARP service
facility.
 The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with
