Important Safeguards
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver,
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 Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPANo. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper ground-
ing of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-
trode.
CAUTION

ENERGY STAR® Program Information
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR® is a U.S.
G
registered mark.
WHY PURCHASE ENERGY STAR® LABELED PRODUCTS?
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $3
billion a year on energy consumed by home electronic products when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR® labeled
models will reduce that energy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $1 billion a year in energy
savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global
warming. If every American family replaced their electronic equipment with ENERGY STAR® labeled models, it would reduce
air pollution equivalent to eliminating more than two million cars.
By using ENERGY STAR® labeled products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy.
That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.

Precautions
„ General
z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the
unit for safety.
z Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-venti-
lated area and that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along
the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 12" (30
cm) of free space on the top of the unit.
z Hold the AC power plug by the head when
removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling
the cord can damage internal wires.
4" (10 cm)

12" (30 cm)
z Do not remove the outer cover, as this
may result in electric shock. Refer inter-
nal service to your local SHARP service
facility.
ion
4" (10 cm)
-
z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free
rma
n
from vibration.
u
z This unit should only be used within the range of 41°F - 95°F
(5°C - 35°C).
l
eca
Warnings:
r
-
z The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit.
Using this product with a higher voltage other than that which is
specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of
accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible
for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other
than that which is specified.
n
z Keep the unit away from direct sun-
light, strong magnetic fields, excessive
dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimi-
les, etc.) which generates electrical
noise.
G
z CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if
viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch
the pickup directly.
z Do not place anything on top of the unit.
z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than
140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temperatures.
„ Volume control
z If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power
cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and
then turn on your system.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker effi-
ciency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid
exposure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit
on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually lis-
tening at high volumes.

Accessories
Precautions (continued)
Please confirm that the following accessories are included.
„ Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec-
tion and player.
z Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
z Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.
z Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on
the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out
from the center, along the radius.

„ Condensation
G
-
Sudden temperature changes, storage
or operation in an extremely humid en-
vironment may cause condensation in-
side the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on
the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to
malfunction. If this happens, leave the
power on with no disc in the unit until
normal playback is possible (about 1
hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before
operating the unit.
