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.
• 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.)
• Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by 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.
