PRECAUCIONES DE MANIPULACION

PRECAUZIONI PER LUSO

Do not use this unit in direct sunlight where it would be exposed to high temperatures above 40C (104F).
No utilice esta unidad bajo la luz directa del sol donde podra quedar expuesta a temperaturas superiores a 40C.
Non utilizzare questa unit in luoghi esposti alla luce solare diretta dove la temperatura pu superare i 40C.
1. Avoid installing in the following places Where it could be subject to vibrations. Where it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom. Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or speaker. 2. Pay attention to dust Be sure to close the CD holder or CD tray so that dust does not collect on the lens. 3. Condensation In the following cases, condensation may occur in the unit, in which case the unit may not operate correctly. In a room where a heater has just been switched on. In a place where there is smoke or high humidity. When the unit is moved directly from a cold to a warm room. In these cases, set the button to STANDBY and wait 1 or 2 hours before use. 4. Volume setting CDs produce very little noise compared with analog sources. If the volume level is adjusted for these sources, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase of output level. Therefore, lower the volume before operation and adjust it as required during play. 5. Safety mechanism This unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism which switches the laser beam on and off, so that when the CD holder or CD tray is open, the laser beam stops automatically. 6. Do not place cassette tapes, etc. near the speakers Since there are magnets in the speakers, do not place tapes or magnetic cards on them as recorded data could be erased. 7. Keep this unit away from your TV When this unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could be distorted. If this happens, move this unit away from the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid using this unit when the TV is turned on. 8. Cleaning the cabinet If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzine or thinner as these could damage the surface finish. 9. When listening with headphones Do not listen at high volumes as this could damage your hearing. For safety, do not drive while listening to this unit.

To change preset stations Perform step 4 above after tuning to the required station. Notes: The previous stored station is erased when a new station is stored, because the new stations frequency replaces the previous frequency in memory. When listening to an AM (MW/LW) broadcast, noise may be heard if the remote control unit is used.
UX-T151/T150E 24 4/7/98, 19:25
All preset stations will be erased when the power cord is disconnected or a power failure occurs for more than 24 hours. In such cases, store the stations again.

To cars cigarette lighter socket (12 V)
Optional exclusive car adapter (JVC model CA-R120E)
First connect the car adapter to the DC IN 12 V jack, not the cigarette lighter socket, because shorting of a plug on the car may cause the fuse to blow out. In addition, be careful not to make a short-circuit between the plugs. When using a car battery, be sure to use the specified car adapter (JVC model CA-R120E) to prevent mishaps or damage resulting from different polarity design.
Note: When there is a power failure or the AC power cord is disconnected, the timer/clock setting is erased from memory. Reset the clock when the power supply is restored.
