•Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for an extended time.

•The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located at the bottom.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•Do not lift the handle when the telescopic antenna is extended.

•If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.
