CAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

Do not take the unit apart. The laser beam used in the unit could harm your eyes.

￿Do not insert pins or other objects inside the unit. This unit is equipped with a safety device which automatically turns the laser beam off when the disc compartment is opened. If a pin or other metal object should get inside the unit, however, this safety device may be deactivated.

￿Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks. Doing so could result in damage.

Do not place the unit

CONDENSATION

If cold water is poured into a glass, water droplets form on the outside of the glass. This is called condensation. Condensation may occur on internal operating parts of the laser pickup.

CONDENSATION OCCURS:

￿When the unit is brought from the outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a cold room which is heated quickly.

￿In the summer, if the unit is moved suddenly from an air-conditioned room or car to a hot or humid location.

SHOULD CONDENSATION OCCUR:

The unit may not operate properly if

LASER SAFETY

THIS SET EMPLOYS AN OPTICAL LASER BEAM SYSTEM IN THE CD MECHANISM, DESIGNED WITH BUILT-IN SAFEGUARDS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE. EXPOSURE TO THIS INVISIBLE LASER LIGHT BEAM MAY BE HARMFUL TO THE HUMAN EYE. THIS IS A CLASS-1 LASER PRODUCT. USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS OR PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS LASER LIGHT BEAM EXPOSURE. THIS COMPACT DISC PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE EXCEPT QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. THE LASER MECHANISM IN THE SET CORRESPONDS TO THE STYLUS (NEEDLE) OF A RECORD PLAYER. ALTHOUGH THIS PRODUCT USES A LASER PICK-UP LENS, IT IS COMPLETELY SAFE WHEN OPERATED ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

in the following locations:

￿ Locations where the temperature is

high. The cabinet may warp or the unit

may otherwise be damaged if it is

placed in direct sunlight, near heaters

(where the temperature is 140 F/60 C

or greater) or in cars with the windows

closed. (In the summer, the

temperature may get as high as

212 F/110 C or more.)

￿ Use the unit within a temperature range

of 41 F/5 C to 95 F/35 C.

￿ In humid or dusty locations.

condensation occurs. Wait for 1 to 2 hours (to allow the internal parts to adjust to the surrounding temperature) before using the unit.
