–for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the
like.
6. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before
cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned with a dry cloth or
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance
and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not
be blocked or covered. Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other such surface. Newspapers, table clothes, curtains,
and other items can inadvertently block ventilation slots. Do
not place the unit near curtains that could obstruct the ventilation. If you install the appliance in a built-in installation, such
as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm
(4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the
appliance should be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or
wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.
8. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifier) that produce heat.
9. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
11. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer.
12. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care to avoid
injury from tip-over.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
13. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance – this indicates a need for service.
15. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock.
The appliance should not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases should be
placed on the appliance.
Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.

Before Using the DPC-7.4
Installing the Remote Controller’s
Batteries
Open the battery compartment, as shown.
1
Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6) in
2
accordance with the polarity diagram inside
the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment.
3
Notes:
• The supplied batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing
both batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and
corrosion.
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the DPC-7.4’s remote
control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-
7.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or
inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when
installing the DPC-7.4.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the
same room, or the DPC-7.4 is installed close to equipment
that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work
reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently,
thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-
7.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep
this in mind when installing the DPC-7.4.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle
between it and the DPC-7.4’s remote control sensor.
