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 6 V DC with four R6 (size AA)
batteries.
For AC operation, use the optional AC power adaptor
recommended for this unit. Do not use any other type of AC
power adaptor.
• 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 rear 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 6V 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.
