Sony icf 2010 - Precautions; Location and Function of Controls

PRECAUTIONS
• Operate the radio only on 4.5V do with three size D batteries (lEC
designation R20).
For ac operation, use the ac power adaptor supplied for this set.
Do not use any other ac power adaptor.
For car battery operation, use the car battery cord recommended
for this set. Do not use any other car battery cord.
• Operate the computer/clock only on 3V dc with two size AA bat¬
teries (lEC designation R6).
• When the set is to be operated extensively on other power
sources than batteries, remove the radio batteries.
• Disconnect the ac power adaptor from the wall outlet when the
set is not to be used for a long period of time.
• Use the set within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
104°F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, an irregular
display may appear on the display windows. If it is used in tempera¬
tures lower than this range, the display may change very slowly.
These irregularities will disappear and there will be no damage to
the set when the set is used in its recommended temperature
range.
• Do not leave the set near heat sources, such as radiators or air-
ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
moisture, rain, mechanical vibration, or shock.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the set, remove the bat¬
teries, and have the set checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, metallic objects
such as pins, etc., may cling to the set. Keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding, recorded tapes, and spring-wound watches
away from the set to prevent damage by the magnet.
• When the case becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth dampen¬
ed with a mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleansers or
chemical solvents, as they may mar the case.
• In vehicles or in buildings, radio reception may be difficult or
noisy. Try listening near a window.
• When there is lightning and you are using an external antenna,
immediately disconnect the ac power adaptor (if connected) from
the wall outlet. Never touch the antenna wire when there is light¬
ning storm.
• Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe.
• Reception of 455 kHz, 3640 kHz and 6275 kHz may be difficult
because of internal spurious signals generated by the built-in
oscillators.
If you have any question or problem concerning your set that is not
covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
