WARNING
• Do not use or store batteries in direct
sunlight or other excessively hot place,
such as inside a car or near a heater. This
can cause batteries to leak, overheat,
explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the
life or performance of batteries.

Installing the receiver

When installing this unit, make sure to put it on
a level and stable surface. Don't install it on the
following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that
gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere
with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is vibration or other
movement
– in places that are very dusty
– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as
a kitchen)

Ventilation

When installing this unit, make sure to leave
space around the unit for ventilation to
improve heat dispersal (at least 20 cm at the
top). If not enough space is provided between
the unit and walls or other equipment, heat will
build up inside, interfering with performance
and/or causing malfunctions.
Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to protect the equipment
from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, do not
place anything directly on top of the unit, make
sure the openings are never blocked or covered
with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths
and curtains), and do not operate the
equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
