Precautions
• Operate the unit only on the power sources specified in "Specifications". For AC operation, use only the supplied AC
power adaptor. Do not use any other type of AC power adaptor.
• 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.
• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is used in temperatures higher than this
range, numbers may appear in the display which have nothing to do with the frequency being received. If it is used
in temperatures lower than this range, the numbers displayed may change very slowly. (These irregularities will
disappear and there will be no damage to the unit when the unit is used in the recommended temperature range.)
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc. is located on the rear exterior.
• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never leave in a
car parked in the sun.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the AC power adaptor, and have the unit checked by a
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (a rug, blanket,
etc.) or near materials (a curtain) that might block the ventilation holes.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep away personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.
• To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.
