 Due to its heavy weight, the unit should be installed 

with great care.

 Installation of the unit requires two persons.
 Use tools carefully while installing of the unit.
 Be sure that the cabinet that is used is sturdy enough 

to support the weight of the unit.

 To reduce the risk of fire, do not place any heating or 

cooking appliance beneath this unit.

 Install the unit so that its AC power cord can be 

connected directly to a wall outlet. Do not use a 
converter or extension cord.

 Be sure that the AC power cord has no slack during 

use of the unit, since the cord acts as an FM wire 
antenna. If the AC power cord has some slack, wind 
it around the cord hook so as to eliminate the slack.

 The unit has a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM 

radio reception. Confirm that AM reception is 
acceptable before finally attaching the unit.

 Install the unit as far as possible from sources of 

noise (for example, a refrigerator, microwave oven or 
fluorescent lamp).

 This unit is not waterproof. Install it where it will 

not be exposed to splashing by water, as this may 
damage the unit.

 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not 

touch the AC power cord with wet hands.

 Never place objects between the top of the unit and 

the bottom of the cabinet. This could cause the unit 
to fall.

 Make sure the unit’s four screws are fastened tightly.
 After installing the unit, do not pull down on it or 

hang something heavy on it.

Decide on the installation location and 
orientation of the unit based on the best 
reception that is possible (see “Improving 
the reception”).

Mark the position of the 4 holes by using 
the supplied template. Use a drill to make 
the holes (size 6.5 mm diam.,

When the cabinet door overhangs the shelf 
and obstructs the unit, you can adjust the 
unit/shelf height.
First set the L mark to the dot which 
becomes the lowest position, then you 
can adjust the height in 4 steps (H

L)

by turning the spacer counterclockwise 
(See Fig. 

-). The unit can be installed 

without the spacer.

Install the unit with the supplied mounting 
screws. (See Fig. 

-)

Note
If you lose the supplied screws, please purchase #10 or 
M5 screws.
