• Basic Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, bum, electric shock, and personal inju
ry-
• Use a power cable rated for the voltage in question. Be sure however to use a power cable
conforming to safety standards of your nation when using a product overseas.
• W hen inserting the plug into the electrical outlet, first turn the power switch OFF and then
insert the plug as far as it will go.
• W hen removing the plug from the electrical outlet, first turn the power switch OFF and then
pull it out by gripping the plug. Do not pull on the power cable itself. M ake sure your hands
are dry at this time.
• Before turning on the power, be sure to check that the supply voltage m atches the voltage
requirem ents of the instrument.
• Connect the power cable to a power outlet that is connected to a protected ground term inal.
Grounding will be defeated if you use an extension cord which does not include a protected
ground terminal.
• Be sure to use fuses rated for the voltage in question.
