► Additional Information
Precautions
On power
• Operate the unit only on 3V DC.
For AC operation, use the AC power adaptor recommended for the
unit. Do not use any other type (TCM-333 only).
For battery operation, use two size R6 (AA) batteries.
On the unit
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the batteries
or disconnect the AC power adaptor (TCM-333 only), and have the unit
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound
watches etc. away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the
magnet used for the speaker.
