Precautions
General Precautions
· DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
· DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
· DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
· Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
· The temperature around the unit must be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
· Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
· DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
· DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to
damage the cord.
· Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and
the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen
interference. It is recommended to use a coaxial cable for
antenna connection, since it is well-shielded against
interference.

power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM or AM
channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few
days.
