PRECAUTIONS
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTIONS ON THIS UNIT FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON IT. LET THE UNIT STAND WITH POWER ON (SEE BELOW).
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for exam- ple, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture conden- sation.
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;
•When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place.
•After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDI- TIONS,
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, press the POWER button to turn on and leave the unit at room temperature until moisture condensation disappears. Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.
LOCATION AND HANDLE
•If you cause a static discharge when touching the unit, and the unit fails to function, simply unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait 10 minutes and plug it back in. The unit should return to normal operation.
•Avoid extreme heat or cold. (41˚F/5˚C - 104˚F/40˚C)
•Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference (e.g. speakers, etc). Doing so may cause erratic operation of the unit including picture and/or sound distortion or noise.
•Avoid extreme moisture and dust.
•The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.
•Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the cassette loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax directly on the unit or use forced air to remove dust.
•Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a horizontal (flat) position only.
•Keep the unit away from flower vases, sinks, etc.
If liquids should be spilled into the unit, serious damage will result. If you spill any liquids into the unit, unplug the AC power cord immediately and consult qualified service personnel before attempting to use it again.
•When you finish operating the unit, always unload the cassette and turn off the power.
•When you leave your home for a long time, unplug the AC power cord.
•To protect the unit from a lightning storm, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.
