General Information
Precautions
"General
!Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well venti-
lated 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.
!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 bat-
tery disposal.
!The apparatus is designed for use 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 acci-
dent 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 effi-
ciency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid
exposure to high volume levels. Do not turn the volume on to full at
switch on and listen to music at moderate levels.
"Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, 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 disc in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmit-
ter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
!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.
