Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or insecti- cides on the unit.

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extreme low temperatures.

Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which gen- erate electrical noise.

Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, since pulling the cord can damage internal wires.

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in elec- tric shock.

Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration, and do not place anything on the top of the unit.

If the unit malfunctions while in use, press the ON/STAND- BY button to enter the stand-by mode, then disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.

If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is sug- gested that you disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet for safety.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface.

Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non- label side.

Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark this surface.

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and ex- cessive moisture.

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.

Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a com- bination of speaker efficiency, location and various other fac- tors.

It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occur while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an ex- tremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MiniDisc pickup, etc.) or on the trans- mitter LED on the remote control.

Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.

If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the remote control transmitter LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
