Panasonic RFB33 - Manual (Page 62)

Cautions
62
► If the set is not used for a long period of time,
remove all the batteries to prevent potential
damage due to possible battery leakage.
► Do not subject this unit to temperatures of
over 50°C, because characteristics of the in­
ternal parts may be adversely affected by
heat. Especially, never leave the set in a car
exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of
time with all the doors and windows closed.
The cabinet may become deformed, and de­
terioration of performance may result.
► If this unit is moved from a cold area (say
-lOX) to a warm place it may not operate
normally. This is the result of moisture in cer­
tain areas. In approximately 60 minutes, the
unit will operate correctly.
►This unit contains liquid crystal. If it is used at
extreme high or low temperature, the display
may be abnormal or the display speed may
become slightly slow (the correct display will
be restored at usual temperature).
► Since a strong magnet is used for the speak­
er, keep magnetized commuter passes, tick­
ets or personal credit cards, recorded tapes,
watches, etc. away from the radio. The
speaker magnet in the radio may damage
them.
• Do not place the set near strong magnets
such as those used in radios, television sets,
speaker boxes, etc. as this may cause the
frequency to drift.
• Do not drop or give the set a strong impact
since the set is composed of precise parts.
•When listening in attain, car, or building, use
the radio near a window to obtain the best
possible reception. Reception may be diffi­
cult in a tunnel or subway. Also note that op­
erating the radio near metal objects may
adversely affect reception.
• Do not use benzine, thinner, or the like, or
any abrasive powder to clean the cabinet.
Wipe it with a soft cloth moistened with a mild
soap and water solution.
•Avoid spray-type insecticides. Some insecti­
cides contain harsh chemicals that could
cause cabinet deformation.
•To avoid product damage, do not expose this
product to rain, water or other liquids.
• If rechargeable batteries are to be used,
rechargeable batteries manufactured by
Panasonic are recommended.
• Do not play your headphones or earphones
at a high volume. Hearing experts advise
against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears,
reduce volume or discontinue use.
• Do not use while operating a motorized
vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in many areas.
•You should use extreme caution or
temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
• Even if your headphones or earphones are
the open-air type designed to let you hear
outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so
high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
