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).
 The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climates.
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

exposure to high volume levels. Do not turn the volume on to full at
switch on and listen to music at moderate levels. Excessive sound
pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
 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
