a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

b) Increase the separation between the equip-ment and receiver.

c) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

5 Do not use this apparatus near water.

6 Clean only with dry cloth.

7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accor-dance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recep-tacles, and the point where they exit from the appara-tus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the appa-ratus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normal-ly, or has been dropped.

Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.

Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit.

The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord plug at any time.

An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to an AC outlet with a protective grounding connection.

Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and head-phones can cause hearing loss.

The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its STANDBY/ON in the Standby position.
