IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
18) Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall  
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under  
the following conditions :  
23) Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system  
is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges  
and built-up static charges. Article810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regards to proper grounding  
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to  
an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and  
requirements for the grounding electrode.  
a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,  
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the  
product,  
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,  
d) If the product does not operate normally by following  
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls  
that are covered by the operating instructions as an  
improper adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the product to its normal  
operation,

of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replace-  
ment plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload  
protection as the original plug.  
20) Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this  
product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to  
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

Precautions  
XL-DK227N  
General  
Hold the AC power plug by the head when  
removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling  
the cord can damage internal wires.  
The AC power plug is used as a disconnect  
device and shall always remain readily  
operable.  
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 equipment.  
4" (10 cm) 4" (10 cm)  
4" (10 cm)  
Do not remove the outer cover, as  
this may result in electric shock.  
Refer service to your local SHARP  
service facility.  
Docking Station  
MICRO COMPONENT SYSTEM  
4" (10 cm)  
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from  
vibration.  
This unit should only be used within the range of 41˚F - 95˚F  
(5˚C - 35˚C).  
Warning:  
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,  
strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,  
humidity and electronic/electrical  
equipment (home computers, facsimiles,  
etc.) which generate electrical noise.  
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.  
Do not place anything on top of the unit.  
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than  
140˚F (60˚C) or to extremely low temperatures.  
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.  
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the  
unit for safety.  
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 while turning the unit  
on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually  
listening at high volumes. Excessive sound pressure from earphones  
and headphones can cause hearing loss.
