• Operate the unit only on 3 V DC with two R6 (size AA) batteries.
For AC operation, use the AC-E311
I
AC-E312 AC power adaptor•.
Do
not use any other type.
For car battery operation, use the car battery cord recommended for
this unit; do not use any other type.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has
been turned off.
• Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet when the unit
is not to be used for a long period of time.
• The name plate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located on the
bottom of the unit.
•Use the unit within a temperature range of O"C to 40"C (32r to
104"F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, an irregular
display may appear on the display window. If it is used in tempera-
tures lower than this range, the display may change very slowly.
These irregularities will disappear and there will be no damage to
the unit when the unit is used in its recommended temperature
range.
• Do not leave the unit near heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain,
mechanical vibration or shock.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the
batteries, and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal credit
cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from
the unit to prevent them from possible damage caused by the
magnet.
• When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft dry cloth
dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleans-
ers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.
• When there is lightning and you are using an external antenna,
immediately disconnect the AC power adaptor (if connected) from
the wall outlet. Never touch the antenna wire when there is a
lightning storm.
• Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe.
• Reception of 3.0 MHz may be difficult because of internal spurious
signals generated by the built-in oscilators.
• In vehicles or buildings, radio reception may be difficult or noisy.
Try listening near a window.
•The AC power adaptor is supplied only for the ICF-SWlOOS.
