electrical shock.  
6. Unplug the radio from the AC power outlet before cleaning. Use only a  
damp cloth for cleaning the exterior of the radio.  
7. Do not place the radio on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or table.  
The radio may fall, causing serious personal injury and damage to  
the radio.  
12. If the radio is left unattended or unused for long periods of time,  
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage caused by  
lightning or power line surges.  
8. Ventilation: This radio should be situated so that its location or  
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,  
the radio should not be used on a bed, sofa, rug or other soft  
surfaces that may block the ventilation openings. It should not be  
place in a built-in situation like a cabinet that may reduce air flow  
through the ventilation openings.  
13. If the radio is left unattended or unused for long periods of time,  
remove the batteries. The batteries may leak and damage furniture  
or your radio.

radio through opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points  
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.  
Never spill liquid of any kind of product.
