following precautions:
• Never use new and old batteries together.
• Insert the plus and minus sides of the 
batteries properly according to the marks 
in the battery case.
• Batteries with the same shape may have 
different voltages. Do not use different 
batteries together.
• When disposing of used batteries, please 
comply with governmental regulations or 
environmental public instruction’s rules 
that apply in your country or area.
• Do not use or store batteries in direct 
sunlight or other excessively hot place, 
such as inside a car or near a heater. This 
can cause batteries to leak, overheat, 
explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the 
life or performance of batteries. 
Installing the receiver

it on a level and stable surface. 
Don’t install it on the following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that 
gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere 
with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is vibration or other 
movement

a kitchen)
Ventilation
When installing this unit, make sure to leave 
space around the unit for ventilation to improve 
heat dispersal (at least 60 cm (24 in.) at the 
top). If not enough space is provided between 
the unit and walls or other equipment, heat will 
build up inside, interfering with performance 
and/or causing malfunctions.
