IMPORTANT NOTES  ......................

 

291a

 

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”, please 
read and observe the following:

 

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

 

304b

 

• Batteries should always be installed or replaced before connecting any other 

devices. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or 
other devices.

 

306b

 

• A battery was installed in the unit before it left the factory. The life of this battery may be 

limited, however, since its primary purpose was to enable testing.

 

307

 

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will 

help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

 

Placement

 

352b

 

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, 

are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or 
initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you 
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this 
unit, or switch them off.

 

354a

 

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, 

leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature 
extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

 

355b

 

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or 

humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the 
unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this 
condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several 
hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

 

Maintenance

 

401a

 

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been 

slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated 
with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit 
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

 

402

 

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possi-

bility of discoloration and/or deformation.

 

Additional Precautions

 

553

 

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other 

controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to 
malfunctions.

 

556

 

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never 

pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the 
cable’s internal elements.

 

558b

 

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable 

levels (especially when it is late at night).

 

559a

 

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) 

that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging 
materials.

12. POWER Indicator

 

This lights when the power is on (when a plug is con-
nected to a jack).

 

* If this indicator goes dim or no longer lights while the power 

is on, the battery is near exhaustion and should be replaced 
immediately. 

 

13. Battery Cover

 

Open this cover to replace the battery. For instructions on 
replacing the battery, refer to “Changing the Battery.”

 

14. FS Joint Panel

 

The FS-6 can be connected to another FS-6, a FS-5U/5L, or

devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the 
power on all devices before making any connections.

 

Connecting to Jack A & B

 

* When connecting to Jack A & B, do not plug any device into
