PRECAUTION FOR HANDLING UNIT
Vibration
Do not use the unit in a location where there is much vibration.
Mm Magnetism
Do not bring the unit near magnetic fields or electrical
equipment which generates strong magnetic fields.
m@ Temperature
Under no circumstances use the unit in a very hot or cold
location or a location which is exposed to direct sunlight. This
is because the performance of the unit may be degraded.
@ Humidity
Electrical appliances generally do not readily withstand humid-
ity. Do not install the unit in a very humid location or a place
where rain is likely to reach it.
@ Cleaning the unit
Before cleaning the unit, turn “OFF” the Power Switch, and be
sure to pull out the Power Plug from the power outlet. Clean
the cabinet using a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty,
immerse the cloth in a diluted solution of dishwashing
detergent, wring it hard, and wipe off the dirt, then finish the
cabinet with a dry cloth. Do not use paint thinner or benzine.
7 Storing the unit
. Do not store the unit in a very hot or cold location.
2. Under no circumstances leave the unit outdoors.
3. To prevent a possible breakdown, when not using the unit
for some time turn “OFF” the Power Switch and be sure to
withdraw the Power Plug from the power outlet. (Under no
circumstances pull directly on the power cord because of
the risk of breaking the conductor inside.)
4. Be sure and remove the cassette tape from the unit.
Mi Installation Conditions
1. Use the unit in a horizontal position.
2. Do not block the ventilation holes in the unit. To improve air
circulation, ventilation holes are provided at the top of the
unit. Keep the rear of the unit at least 15 cm, and the sides
at least 5 cm, away from any walls. Also, do not block up
the ventilation holes underneath the unit with carpet, etc.
3. Before moving the unit from one place to another, be sure
and remove the cassette tape.
4. To ensure that the unit can be used without breakdown, do
not place objects on top of it.
5. When using the unit on a base, provide a firm base.
6. If you abruptly warm the room in which the unit is installed
using a gas stove, etc., or quickly move the unit from a cold
place to a warm place, the resulting sudden change in
temperature may cause condensation and prevent the tape
from traveling properly. As far as possible, therefore, use
the unit under conditions such that the temperature does
not one abruptly. If condensation occurs inside the unit,
the “ o" mark (condensation indicator) will light, and the
unit will stop operating. In such a case, wait until the lamp
goes out.
m When using the unit, do not block the ventilating
holes at the top.
@ When mounting this unit on a rack, use a rack which
is provided with a fan.
M@ |n the event of an abnormality, immediately turn the
Power Switch “OFF” and remove the Power Plug
from the power outlet, then contact the shop where
you purchased the unit. If you continue to use the unit
without removing the cause of the abnormality, the
extent of the fault may increase or an unforeseen
accident may result.
