radio is operated.
GB
2. Retain instruction: The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for further reference.
10. Mains adaptor: The mains adaptor should be positioned so it is not
walked on, pinched, or items placed on top of it. Pay particular
attention to wires at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the unit. Unplug the mains adaptor by
gripping the adaptor, not the wire. Operate the radio using only the
current type of power source indicated. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company.
3. Heed warnings. All warnings on the appliance and operating
instructions should be followed.
4. Follow all operations and use instructions.
5. Water and moisture: The appliance should not be used near water.
Do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, laundry tub, kitchen sink,
wet basement, swimming pool, etc.
11. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords. This can result in a
risk of fire or electrical shock. Never insert objects of any kind into
the radio through opening. The objects may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts. This could cause a fire or
electrical shock.
6. Unplug the radio from the AC power outlet before cleaning. Use only a
damp cloth for cleaning the exterior of the radio.
7. Do not place the radio on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or table.
The radio may fall, causing serious personal injury and damage to
the radio.
12. If the radio is left unattended or unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage caused by
lightning or power line surges.
8. Ventilation: This radio should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the radio should not be used on a bed, sofa, rug or other soft
surfaces that may block the ventilation openings. It should not be
place in a built-in situation like a cabinet that may reduce air flow
through the ventilation openings.
13. If the radio is left unattended or unused for long periods of time,
remove the batteries. The batteries may leak and damage furniture
or your radio.
2
14. Do not attempt to service the radio yourself. Removing the cover
may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the warranty.
Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
15. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this
radio through opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind of product.
16. The appliance should be serviced by qualified personnel when:
A. The mains adaptor or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen or liquid had been spilled into the radio.
