Important Safeguards  
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver,  
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against  
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical  
Code, ANSI/NFPANo. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper ground-  
ing of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-  
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge  
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-  
trode.

Precautions  
z Do not remove the outer cover, as this may re-  
sult in electric shock. Refer internal service to  
your local SHARP service facility.  
General  
z Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and  
ensure that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along the sides, top and  
back of the unit.  
4" (10 cm)  
4" (10 cm)  
4" (10 cm)  
z This unit should only be used within the range of 41°F - 95°F (5°C - 35°C).  
4" (10 cm)  
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.  
z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibra-  
tion.  
t
Volume control  
rma  
o
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, loca-  
tion and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume  
levels, which occur while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up  
high, or while continually listening at high volumes.  
aut  
z Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong  
magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and  
electronic/electrical equipment (home comput-  
ers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical  
noise.  
e
r
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.  
n
z Do not place anything on top of the unit.  
z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C)  
or to extremely low temperatures.  
G
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 center, along the radius.  
z If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power cord from the  
AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then turn on your system.  
z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for  
safety.  
YES  
correct  
NO  
z Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing  
it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can dam-  
age internal wires.
