2Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. [t also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41 ‘F) or greater than 35°C (95”F).

3Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.

4Ventilation —The unit should be situated with adequate space around itsothat proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from the each side.

-Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, orsimilarsurface that may block the ventilation openings.

-Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.

or fall.

 

7 Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

-The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

-The heating system has just been turned on

-The unit is used in a very humid room

-The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.

8 Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating instruc- tions.

Electric Power

1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

2 Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one

way into a power outlet. If it is difficult orimpossibleto insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again, If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

-When disconnecting the power cord, pull out by the plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

-Never handle the power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.

-Power cord should be routed to avoid being severely bent, pinched] or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.

-Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords

beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

5When not in use— Disconnect the AC Dower cord from the AC outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure it is located away from power hnes.

2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna svstem is properly grounde~ to provi~e protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS1/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and requirements for grounding terminals.
