DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections. DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment. DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way ­ switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer. DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people. DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving a vehicle. DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DON'T use the makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws ­ to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions. DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture. ABOVE ALL - NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case ­ this could result in a fatal electrical shock; - NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is better to be safe than sorry! 2 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY We declare under our sole responsibility that this product, to which this declaration relates, is in conformity with the following standards: EN60065, EN55013, EN55020, EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-3. Following the provisions of 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC Directives. IMPORTANT The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer. Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person preferably a qualified electrician. If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. IMPORTANT The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue : NEUTRAL Brown : LIVE As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED. On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the earth symbol I or coloured green or green and yellow. Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a rewireable plug already fitted, which may be removed if not suitable and an alternative fitted in accordance with the preceding instructions. 3 LOCATION OF EXPLANATORY LABEL - INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN AND INTERLOCKS DEFEATED.

If the set is being used outdoors, shorten the antenna and stop using the set. · Shorten the antenna when carrying the set: If the set is carried with the antenna extended, it could break. · Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, extreme heat, and high humidity, or place it near heat sources, the sea, or in a sandy or dusty place. · Do not clean the cabinet of the set with strong detergents or solvents as these could damage the surface finish. · We discourage the use of C-120 cassette tapes as they tend to break or jam the device. · The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. · Discs, which can be played on this player, have the following mark on them: · Do not move the set suddenly from a very cold room into a warm room. When a chilled CD player is moved suddenly to a warm location, moisture condensation may form on the pick-up lens, preventing proper operation. In this case, wait 1 to 2 hours before resuming play. · During playback, if the CD player is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt, some noise may be produced, this is not a malfunction. · Do not place any objects in the disc compartment, it any cause damage to the mechanism. · Whenever moving the set, first, be sure to remove the disc from it. If the player is moved with the disc loaded, the disc may be damaged. · Do not store discs in high temperature, high-humidity locations. The discs may develop warps and become unable to play. Also, discs with moisture on them may be unplayable. Wipe any moisture off with a soft, dry cloth, and be sure discs are fully dry before using. · Handle the discs carefully so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs. To clean off, use a soft cloth. Do not use a hard cloth since these will mark the disc. · If you switch on or off a fluorescent lamp which is placed near the set, you may hear some interference noise; this is not a malfunction. · Please do not use compact discs with cellophone tapes or with labels attached, or those CD with pealed off stains, such as rental CD. If such discs were used on a CD player, they may get trapped inside the unit and cause malfunction. · CD's with special shapes (heart-shaped CD's, octagonal CD's etc.) cannot be played on this set.
