Important Safety Instructions - Radio Shack 12-826 Owner's Manual

Important Safety Instructions

Careful attention is devoted to quality stan-
dards in the manufacture of your portable ra-
dio. Though safety is a major factor in its
design, it is also your responsibility.
This section lists important information that
will help you properly use and enjoy your
portable radio and accessories. Read all the
included safety and operating instructions
before using your portable radio. Follow
them closely, and retain them for future refer-
ence.
Heed Warnings — Follow all warnings on
the product and in the operating instructions.
Cleaning — Unplug this product from the
wall outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp
cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aero-
sol cleaners.
Attachments — Do not use attachments/
accessories not recommended by the prod-
uct manufacturer, as they might create haz-
ards.
Water and Moisture — Do not use this
product near water (for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming
pool).
Accessories — Do not place this product on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or ta-
ble. The product may fall, causing serious in-
jury to a child or adult, and serious damage
to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions for mount-
ing, and use a recommended mounting ac-
cessory.
Please read before using this equipment.
Ventilation — Slots and openings in the
cabinet provide ventilation, ensure reliable
operation, and protect from overheating. Do
not block or cover these openings, and do
not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. Do not place the prod-
uct in a built-in installation such as a book-
case or rack unless it provides proper
ventilation as specified by the manufacturer.
Power Sources — Operate this product us-
ing only the power source indicated on its
marking label. If you are not sure of your
home's power type, consult your product
dealer or local power company.
Polarization — This product is equipped
with a polarized AC line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit in the power outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polar-
ized plug. If you need an extension, use a
polarized cord.
Power Cord Protection — Route power
cords so they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed on or against
them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
