Important safety instructions  
9. Power sources: The radio should be operated only from the type of  
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of  
the type of power supply to your home, consult your radio dealer or  
power company.  
1. Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before the  
radio is operated.  
2. Retain instruction: The safety and operating instructions should be  
retained for future reference.  
GB  
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  
placed in a built-in situation like a cabinet that may reduce air flow  
through the ventilation openings.  
13. If the radio is left unattended and used for a long period of time,  
remove the batteries. The batteries may leak and damage furniture  
of your radio.

may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the warranty.  
Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.

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.
