SAFETY CERTIFICATION

This unit is made and tested to meet exacting safety standards. It meets UL, CSA and FCC requirements and complies with safety performance standards of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

CAUTION - USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZ-ARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

FCC INFORMATION

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sanyo may void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

• Do not damage the power cord.
- When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the unit.
- If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or a malfunction may result. Use in an area where there is low humidity and little dust.
- Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way.
- Do not use the unit in areas where extremes in temperature occur (below 40°F or exceeding 95°F), or where it may be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Because of the CD player's extremely low noise and wide dynamic range, there is a tendency to turn the volume on the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing so may produce an excessively high output from the amplifier which can cause damage to your speakers. Please be careful in this regard.
- Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the unit. Under this condition the unit may be unable to operate properly. If this should occur, remove the disc and allow the player to adjust to the surrounding temperature.
