Others 5 Cautions for use (cont.)

AC adaptor

Use the supplied AC adaptor.

If the battery itself is too hot or too cold, it may take time to charge or may not charge at all.

Keep the AC adaptor at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from the radio. (Interference may affect the radio.)

During use, the AC adaptor may make noises internally, however, this is normal.

After use, unplug the AC adaptor from its AC outlet. (Leaving it connected consumes 0.3 W [max.] of power.)

Keep the terminals of the AC adaptor clean.

Keep the AC adaptor near an AC outlet and yourself within arm’s reach of a breaker (AC plug).

LCD monitor

If the LCD monitor fogs up or becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth. When the unit is extremely cold in cold places or in other such conditions,

although the LCD monitor may be slightly dark immediately after turning power on, the normal brightness is restored when internal temperature rises.

The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology, however black spots may appear in displays or stuck lighting (red, blue or green) may occur. There is nothing wrong with the monitor.

The LCD monitor pixels are controlled to a 99.99 % degree of accuracy; however, dead or stuck pixels may occur in the remaining 0.01 %. These pixel defects are not recorded in SD card images, therefore do not worry.
