5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding­type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. 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)Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11)Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12)Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip­over.
13)Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the unit, remote control or disc/cassette.
1. DO NOT
place the unit ^
^ in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
^ in direct sunlight. ^ in a dusty environment. ^ in an environment where strong magnetic fields are
generated.
^ on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT
block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT
place heavy objects on the unit or remote control.
4. DO NOT
place anything which might spill on top of the unit
or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT
expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT
use this equipment in a bathroom or places with
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT
place any naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID
violent shocks to the unit during transport.
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly. Use the supplied power cord. (If not, fire or electric shock may be caused.) DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way -- switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer. DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DO consult you dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment. NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case -- this could result in a fatal electrical shock.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions^just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. In conditions where condensation may occur, disconnect the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then turn on the unit.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void user’s authority to operate the equipment.
