If the provided plug does not fi t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.10Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recep-tacles, and the point where they exit from the ap-paratus.11Only use attachments/accessories specifi ed by the manufacturer.12Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specifi ed by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 13Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.14Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service person-nel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the appara-tus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.•Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.•Do not place any objects fi lled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.•Do not install this apparatus in a confi ned space such as a book case or similar unit.•The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in the off position. NOTESThe CD-GT1 cannot play unfi nalized CD-R/RW discs. In addition, some fi nalized CD-R/RW discs may be unplayable on the CD-GT-1. To avoid the possibility of slight noise when you use the unit with the AC adapter, remove the batteries before con-necting the AC adapter. If any batteries are accidentally left in the unit, you should always switch the unit off when changing between AC adapter and battery power. The microphone input is unbalanced. Use an unbalanced microphone cable fi tted with a 1/4” plug. Ni-MH batteries may exhibit reduced per-formance in an environment under 10ºC (50F). Also, if these batteries are not used for some time after charging, they may also exhibit reduced performance. The performance of alkaline batteries also depends on temperature and time since manufacture (low temperatures and lon-ger periods mean shorter battery life, re-gardless of the battery indicator as shown on the display). Bear this in mind when operating the unit, and use freshly recharged Ni-MH batter-ies, new alkaline batteries or use an AC adapter if battery life seems inadequate.
