Important Safeguards
CAUTION
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/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated, and should be retained for future reference.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered
and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in
potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards,
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.

Listening to a Cassette Tape
About a Cassette and a CD
I Cassette tape
G For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best sound. (Metal
or CrO2 tape is not recommended.) For recording, use only normal
tape.
G Do not use C-120 tapes, or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause
malfunctions.
G Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack
with a pen or pencil.
G Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or
erasing from taking place. Removing the tab will protect the corre-
sponding side from being erased. Cover the tab holes with adhesive
tape to erase or record again.

CONSUMER LIMITED WARRANTY
ENERGY STAR® Program Information
SHARPELECTRONICS CORPORATION warrants to the first consumer purchaser that this Sharp
brand product (the “Product”), when shipped in its original container, will be free from defective
workmanship and materials, and agrees that it will, at its option, either repair the defect or replace
the defective Product or part thereof with a new or remanufactured equivalent at no charge to the
purchaser for parts or labor for the period(s) set forth below.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets
the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR® is a U.S.
registered mark.
This warranty does not apply to any appearance items of the Product nor to the additional ex-
cluded item(s) set forth below nor to any Product the exterior of which has been damaged or
defaced, which has been subjected to improper voltage or other misuse, abnormal service or
handling, or which has been altered or modified in design or construction.
In order to enforce the rights under this limited warranty, the purchaser should follow the steps set
forth below and provide proof of purchase to the servicer.
The limited warranty described herein is in addition to whatever implied warranties may be granted
to purchasers by law. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITYAND FITNESS FOR USEARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD(S) FROM THE
DATE OF PURCHASE SET FORTH BELOW. Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
WHY PURCHASE ENERGY STAR® LABELED PRODUCTS?
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on and when
they are off. Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on energy consumed by
home electronic products when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR®
labeled models will reduce that energy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this
will mean more than $1 billion a year in energy savings for consumers.
Neither the sales personnel of the seller nor any other person is authorized to make any warranties
other than those described herein, or to extend the duration of any warranties beyond the time
period described herein on behalf of Sharp.
The warranties described herein shall be the sole and exclusive warranties granted by Sharp and
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the purchaser. Correction of defects, in the
manner and for the period of time described herein, shall constitute complete fulfillment of all
liabilities and responsibilities of Sharp to the purchaser with respect to the Product, and shall
constitute full satisfaction of all claims, whether based on contract, negligence, strict liability or
otherwise. In no event shall Sharp be liable, or in any way responsible, for any damages or defects
in the Product which were caused by repairs or attempted repairs performed by anyone other than
an authorized servicer. Nor shall Sharp be liable or in any way responsible for any incidental or
consequential economic or property damage. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon
dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced
their electronic equipment with ENERGY STAR® labeled models, it would reduce
air pollution equivalent to eliminating more than two million cars.
By using ENERGY STAR® labeled products, you will save money on your electric
bills and use less energy.
That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.
