Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards

and Damages

· Even when the

(on/off) button is set to the off

position, a very small current will flow. To save power

and for safety when not using the unit for an extended

period of time, disconnect the power cord from the

household AC outlet.

· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

· When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp

and pull the plug, not the power cord.

· Consult your nearest dealer when damage,

disconnection, or contact failure is found with the cord.

· Do not bend the cord sharply, or pull or twist it.

· Do not modify the power cord in any manner.

· Do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do

not touch anything inside the unit to avoid accidents.

· Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.

· Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of

lightning.

· If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord

from the outlet and consult your dealer.

Do not use this unit in direct sunlight or leave the unit

in a closed automobile (or yacht, etc.) where it would

be exposed to high temperatures above 40°C.

1 Avoid using the unit in the following places:

· Where the temperature may become excessively

high or low; the recommended temperature range

is 5°C and 35°C.

· Where it could be subject to vibrations.

· Where it is excessively humid, such as in a

bathroom.

· Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or

speaker.

2 Pay attention to dust.

Be sure to close the disc holder so that the lens is not

contaminated by dust. Do not touch the lens.

3 Condensation

Condensation may occur in the following cases, in

which the unit may not operate correctly:

· The unit is in a room where a heater has just been

switched on.

· The unit is in a place where there is smoke or high

humidity.

· The unit has just moved from a cold place to a

warm room.

In these cases, set the

(on/off) button to the on

position and wait one or two hours before use.

4 Volume control

Compact discs produce very little noise compared

with analog records. If you adjust the volume by

listening to the noise as you do with analog records,

the speakers could be damaged by a sudden blast of

sound when playback starts. Therefore, turn down

the volume before starting and adjust it as required

while playing a CD.

5 Safety mechanism

The unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism

which switches off the laser beam when the disc

holder is opened.

6 Do not place magnetic objects such as

cassette tapes near the speakers.

Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not

place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as

recorded data could be erased.

7 Keep the unit away from the TV.

When the unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could

be distorted. If this happens, move the unit away from

the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid

using the unit when the TV is turned on.

8 Cleaning the cabinet

If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

Never use benzine or thinner as these could damage

the surface finish.

9 When listening with headphones

· Do not listen at high volumes as it could damage

your hearing.

· For safety, do not drive while listening with

headphones.

10 Carrying handle

Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the

telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the

antenna. Position the carrying handle so that it does

not interfere with operation.

R20P (SUM-1)/D (13F)-size batteries

3 Replace the cover.

Checking batteries

When the tape speed or output sound level decreases, or

CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries

with fresh ones.

When making an important recording, use new batteries

(preferably alkaline batteries with a longer service life)

to avoid any possible failure.

For better battery usage

· Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery

power to be consumed quicker than noncontinuous

operation.

· Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery

power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm

place.

CAUTIONS:

· When not using the unit for a long time (more than

two weeks) or when using the household AC, remove

the batteries to avoid a malfunction or damage to the

unit.

· When the JVC power cord provided with this unit is

connected, the power is automatically switched from

the batteries to the household AC even when the

batteries are loaded.

However, remove the batteries when using the power

cord.

CAUTIONS WHEN USING BATTERIES:

When batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in

the leakage of chemicals from the batteries or they

may explode. The following care should be taken:

· Check that the positive

ª and negative ·

terminals of the batteries are positioned correctly

and load them as shown in the figure on the left.

· Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix

different types of batteries.

· Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

· Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used

for an extended period of time.

If chemicals from the batteries come in contact with

your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If

chemicals leak onto the unit, clean the unit

completely.
