Precautions „ General z Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides, top and back of the unit. z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration. z Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical noise. z Do not place anything on top of the unit. z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to extremely low temperatures. z If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your system. z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety. z Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires. z Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility. z The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. z No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the appa- ratus. z Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal. z The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate. z This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F). Warning: 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. „ Volume control The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occurs whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes. „ 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 collection 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 centre, along the radius. 10 cm (4") 10 cm (4") 10 cm (4") 10 cm (4") NO YES correct

However, if the signals from all stations are weak or not good (due to electrical noise), the unit displays "WEAK SIG" and returns to the original station. "TP" "TA" Meaning Not lit Not lit Does not carry traffic announcements nor does it refer, via EON, to a programme that does. Not lit Lit Carries EON information about another programme which gives traffic information. Lit Not lit Carries traffic announcements but not at present and may also carry EON information about other traffic announce- ments. Lit Lit A traffic information is currently on air.

„ To set the internal clock by the RDS time signal You can set the internal clock using the RDS time signal (RDS CT data). This is use- ful because the internal clock is set automatically from the time signal sent by an RDS station. Before setting, select one of the 24-hour or 12-hour display as shown on page 11. Notes: z When the CLOCK button is pressed whilst the RDS time is displayed, the internal clock is displayed followed by the RDS clock. With this feature, you can compare the time shown. If you have not yet set the clock display mode, "CLOCK" will appear. z Whilst "NO CT" or "CT" is displayed, the internal clock cannot be set. z If the signal from a station is weak or noisy, you may not be able to set the internal clock. Note for clock-time and date mode: When the DISPLAY MODE button is pressed repeatedly to select CT, the data (Day-Month-Year) will be displayed for 3 seconds, and then the RDS clock time display will appear. The RDS clock time appears with "RDS", so that you will know it is not the internal clock time. Notes: z If you tune in to an RDS station which is not sending clock-time and date (CT data) and you select CT, "NO CT" will be displayed. z If you are not receiving CT data, even though you are tuned into an RDS station, "CT" will be displayed. The CT data is sent at the top of each minute. z If an RDS signal is weak or noisy, the clock time may be displayed as "- -" (hyphens) or it may not be displayed correctly. z You must check the clock's accuracy because the RDS time signal (CT data) may not be correct, depending on the station. z The data normally changes at midnight, Greenwich Mean Time (G.M.T.), not local time. 1 Tune in to an RDS station (when its name is displayed). 2 Press the DISPLAY MODE button to select CT.
