General  
Fuse  
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not leave  
theunitwhereexcessiveheatcouldcausedamagesuchasinaparkedcar  
wheretheheatfromthesuncanbuildupeventhoughtheoutsidetemperature  
may not seem too high. It is recommended that the FM band be used  
wherever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from  
interference will usually be obtained than on the MW or LW bands.  
This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug  
(BS1363).Ifanothertypeofplugisuseda5Afuseshouldbefittedintheplug,
