17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
If an outside antenna is connected to the prod-  
uct, be sure the antenna system is grounded so  
as to provide some protection against voltage  
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810  
of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,  
provides information with respect to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,  
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-  
charge product, size of grounding conductors,  
location of antenna discharge product, connec-  
tion to grounding electrodes and requirements  
for grounding electrodes.  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is  
damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled or objects have  
fallen into the product.  
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or  
water.  
d. If the product does not operate normally by  
following the operating instructions. Adjust  
only those controls that are covered by the  
operating instructions, as an adjustment of  
other controls may result in damage and will  
often require extensive work by a qualified  
technician to restore the product to its  
normal operation.

FCC NOTICE  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,  
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,  
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with  
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is  
needed.  
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
WARNING:  
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

CAUTION  
Follow the advice below for safe operations.  
ON PROTECTION AGAINST LASER ENERGY EXPOSURE  
As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to  
disassemble the casing.  
Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid object should fall into the cabinet.  
Do not touch the lens or poke at it. If you do, you may damage the lens and the player may  
not operate properly.  
Do not put anything in the safety slot. If you do, the laser diode will be ON when the CD door  
is still open.  
If the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, make sure that all power sources are  
disconnected from the unit. Remove all batteries from the battery compartment, and unplug  
the AC cord from the wall outlet. Make it a practice to remove the AC cord by grasping the  
main body and not by pulling the cord.  
This unit employs a laser. The use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures  
other than those specified here may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.  
ON PLACEMENT  
Do not use the unit in places where are extremely hot, cold, dusty or humid.  
Place the unit on a flat and even surface.  
Do not restrict the air-flow of the unit by placing it in a place with poor ventilation, by covering it  
with a cloth or by placing it on a carpet.  
ON CONDENSATION  
When left in a heated room where it is warm and damp, water droplets or condensation may  
form inside the unit.  
When there is condensation inside the unit, the unit may not function normally.  
Let it stand for 1 to 2 hours before turning the power on, or gradually heat the room up and dry  
the unit before use.  
Should any trouble occur, remove the power source and refer servicing to qualified personnel.

CASSETTE TAPE OPERATING TIPS  
1. High quality tapes are recommended to obtain maximum quality reproduction from  
recordings.  
2. Tapes with playing time of 120 minutes (C-120) are not recommended because they contain  
thinner and longer tape that has a greater chance to malfunction and jam, which may damage  
the cassette mechanism.  
3. To obtain good reproduction, the head should be cleaned after every 10 to 20 hours of use.  
It is also recommended that the cassette be kept away from excessive heat or cold.

slack, insert a pencil into the hub and rotate clockwise as shown below:  
5. A leader tape is provided at the beginning on each cassette. There is no recording on this  
area, so it is necessary to let the tape run for about five seconds to clear the head.  
6. Keep the tape head clean since a dirty head can cause distorted sound or improper tape  
speed. Depress the Cassette Play Button (#21) and use a small cotton swab with tape head  
cleaner or alcohol to clean the tape head, capstan and pinch roller as shown below:  
AUX IN OPERATION
