Getting Started
Before Installation
General Precautions
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
• The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and
35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to
damage the cord.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and
the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen
interference. Coaxial cable is recommended for the antenna
connection, since such cable is well-shielded against
interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power
cord, the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels
and sound adjustments may be erased within a few days.
