Precautions

Notes on the power cord

When you go away for an extended period of time,

• remove the plug from the wall outlet. When unplugging the System from the wall outlet,

• always pull the plug, not the power cord. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System or

• moving the System. Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything

• heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures

Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.

• If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and

• remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock. Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it

• near a heating device.
