Use This Equipment Safely

When Driving

Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic conditions.

When Washing Vehicle

Do not expose the equipment, including the speakers and tapes, to water or excessive moisture. This
could cause electrical shorts, fire, or other damage.

When Parked

Parking in direct sunlight can produce very high temperatures inside your vehicle. Give the interior a
chance to cool down before switching the unit on.

Use the Proper Power Supply

This equipment is designed to operate off a 12 volt, negative ground battery system (the normal system
in a North American vehicle.)

Protect the Tape Mechanism

Keep magnets, screwdrivers, or other metallic objects away from the tape mechanism and tape head to
prevent poor performance or malfunctions.

Use Authorized Service Centers

Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust this precision equipment. Please refer to the Servicenter list
included with this product for service assistance.
