Loading the batteries

 

 Caution

 

Incorrect use of batteries may result in such 
hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the 
following precautions:

• Never use new and old batteries together.

• Insert the plus and minus sides of the 

batteries properly according to the marks 
in the battery case.

• Batteries with the same shape may have 

different voltages. Do not use different 
batteries together.

• When disposing of used batteries, please 

comply with governmental regulations or 
environmental public instruction’s rules 
that apply in your country or area.

 

Installing the 

 

receiver

 

• When installing this unit, make sure to put 

it on a level and stable surface. 

Don’t install it on the following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that 
gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere 
with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is vibration or other 
movement
– in places that are very dusty
– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as 
a kitchen)

 

Ventilation

 

When installing this unit, make sure to leave 
space around the unit for ventilation to 
improve heat dispersal (at least 8 in. (20 cm) at 
the top). If not enough space is provided 
between the unit and walls or other equipment, 
heat will build up inside, interfering with 
performance and/or causing malfunctions.

Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided 
for ventilation and to protect the equipment 
from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, do not 
place anything directly on top of the unit, make 
sure the openings are never blocked or covered 
with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths 
and curtains), and do not operate the 
equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
