Improper handling is dangerous, •Do not touch it with wM hinds. •Do not place heavy objects on top of It. •Do not forcibly bend K. •Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor provided with the unit. • Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet If the unit is not going to be used for a long time. Unit No altsring or remodslino This can cause malfunctioning, No dropping or -strong impacts This may damage the unit. Locations to be avoided Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they can cause malfunctioning. 1. Bathrooms and other moisture*prone places 2. Warehouses and other dusty places 3. Very hot places near heating appliances, etc. Do not leave the unit expossd to direct sunlight for long periods of time This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also cause malfunctioning. Rechargeable batteries •Only the RP-BP60 (SH-CDB8D) batteries can be recharged. • If the power delivered by the batteriss lasts for a vary short time after recharging, It means that the battarias' service life is over. Do not use them any more. • Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their sen/Ice lite. •When recharging batterlee for the first time or when they have not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual, in a case like this, repeatedly rseharge and discharge the battsriea. This will restore them to their regular state. •Do not allow any metal objects to touch the termi- nals of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-olrcultlng whioh la dangerous. Dry ceil batteries/rechargeable batteries To prevent dan^ge to the batteries and electrolyte ieaKage, heed the following points. •Align the@ and © polarities properly when insert- ing the tiatleries, • Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old and new batteries. • Remove the batteries If you do not plan to use the unit for e long period of time. oDo not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to ex- cessive heat. e Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries. oDo not pe^ off the plastic covering on the re- chargeable batteries. Short-cfrculting may occur which is dangerous. 9
