[Rack Mount Brackets, Ground Te rm inal, and Rubber Feet]

To rack mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or materials other than th ose supplied. Otherwise, it may cause d amage to the internal circuits or components of t he unit. If you remove the rubber feet attached on the unit,

do not reinsert the screws securing the rubber feet.

[Consumables]

Caution

The consumables used in unit must be replaced periodically. For further details on specifications at the end of the Operation Manua they should be replaced at an early date. For details on r eplacing the consumables,

contact your dealer.

Installing the AC Cord Retaining Clip

Secure the AC cord with the supplied la dder strap/ retain ing clip assembly to prev ent accident al removal from the FA-9500.

 Installing the clip

1) Wrap the retaining clip around the AC cord. (with the anchor of the ladder strap toward the unit.)

2) Insert the anchor into the hole next to the AC IN socket.

3) Lightly fasten the clip around the AC cord.

4) Plug in the power cord.

5) Slide the clip on the ladder strap toward the plug.

6) Fasten the clip tightly.

7) Gently pull on the AC cord to ensure it is secured.

 Unpluging the AC cord

1) Push the tab on the retaining up to unfasten the clip.

2) Push the tab on the ladde r strap up and slide the clip back.

3) Unplug the AC cord.
