PRECAUTIONS
© Operate the radio only on 4.5V dc. The computer must have bat-

sources than batteries, remove the radio batteries.
@ Disconnect the ac power adaptor from the wall outlet when the
set is not to be used for a long period of time.
e The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located on
the back of the set.
@ Should any solid object or liquid fall into the set, remove the bat-
teries, and have the set checked
by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
e Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, metailic objects
such as pins, etc., may cling to the set. Keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding, recorded tapes, and spring-wound watches
away from the set to prevent damage by the magnet.
@ When the case becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
dampened
with a mild detergent
solution.
Never use abrasive
cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the case.
@ In vehicles or in buildings, radio reception may be difficult or
noisy. Try listening near a window.
@ 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 lightn-
ing storm.
@ Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe.
e Reception of 299kHz, 350kHz, 400kHz, 5,760kHz, 11,520 kHz,
10,700kHz and 21,400kHz
may be difficult because
of internal
spurious signals generated by the built-in oscillators.
