Precautions and maintenance

On placement

•Do not leave the unit near heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, humidity, rain, mechanical vibration or shock.

•Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, an irregular display (i.e., 88.88) may appear. If it is used in temperatures below this range, the display may change very slowly. The unit will return to its normal condition when the unit is used in its recommended temperature range once again.

•Reception may be difficult or noisy in vehicles or buildings. Try listening near a window.

On safety

•Operate the unit only on 3 V DC with two R6 (size AA) batteries.

For AC operation, use the supplied AC power adaptor. Do not use any other type of AC power adaptor.

For car battery operation, use the car battery cord recommended for this unit. Do not use any other type of car battery cord.

•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

•Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet when the unit is not to be used for a long period of time.

•The name plate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located at the bottom of the unit.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. Make sure that no liquid or foreign material enters the DC IN 3V jack of the unit. This may lead to malfunction of the unit.

•When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft dry cloth dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.

•Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent them from possible damage caused by the magnet.

•If there is lightning and when using the external antenna, disconnect the AC power adaptor immediately from the wall outlet, if connected. Never touch the antenna wire when there is a lightning storm.

•Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe.
