Before You Start
Before You Start
For Your Safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this
section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper
and safe operation of your unit.
• This section explains the graphic symbols used
in this manual.
Denotes a potential
hazard that could
result in serious injury
or death.
Denotes hazards that
could result in minor
injury or damage to
the unit.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that
must not be performed.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that
must be emphasized in order
to operate the unit safely.
When you operate this product, the power
outlet should be near the product and easily
accessible.
To ensure safe operation, the power cord
supplied must be inserted into a standard
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively
grounded (earthed) through the normal
wiring.
The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power
point is grounded (earthed) and that the
installation is completely safe. For your
safety, if in any doubt about the effective
grounding (earthing) of the power point,
consult a qualified electrician.
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to
replace the AC outlet with a properly
grounded (earthed) one.
Do not defeat the grounding (earthing) plug
(ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Connect the AC adaptor firmly to the power
cord, and plug the power cord firmly into an
AC outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or
electric shock.
For Users
Power and Ground Connection
The power source voltage of this unit is
listed on the nameplate.
Only plug the unit into an AC outlet with the
proper voltage.
If you use a cord with an unspecified
current rating, the unit or plug may emit
smoke or become hot to the touch.
6 Operating Instructions
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe
the power cord, plug, and AC adaptor.
Damage to the power cord or plug can
cause fire or electric shock.
Do not attempt to repair the power cord,
plug, or AC adaptor. If the power cord or
plug is damaged or frayed, contact an
authorized service representative for a
replacement.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of
dust. In a damp environment, a
contaminated connector can draw a
significant amount of current that can
generate heat, and eventually cause fire if
left unattended over an extended period of
time.
Page 7
Never touch the plug or AC adaptor with
CAUTION
wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if the unit emits
smoke, excessive heat, abnormal smell, or
unusual noise. These conditions can cause
fire or electric shock. Immediately turn the
unit off, and unplug the power cord, and
contact your dealer for service.
Before You Start
Power
The unit should be used only with the
power cord and AC adaptor enclosed with
the unit.
When disconnecting the unit, grasp the
plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or
electric shock.
Operating Safeguards
If water gets into the unit, turn the unit off,
and unplug the unit immediately. Contact
your dealer for service. Operating the
contaminated unit can cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not open covers, and do not attempt to
repair the unit yourself. Contact your dealer
for service.
Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.
Alteration or modification can cause fire or
electric shock.
During thunderstorms, do not touch the
unit, plug and AC adaptor. It may cause an
electric shock.
When the unit is not used over an extended
period of time, switch it off, and unplug it. If
an unused unit is left connected to a power
source for a long period, degraded
insulation may cause electric shock,
current leakage, or fire.
Installation and Relocation
Do not position the unit in a location where
it is unstable.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this unit to rain or any type of
moisture.
Do not place the unit in a hot humid or dusty
environment.
Prolonged exposure to these adverse
conditions may cause fire or electric shock.
When moving the unit, be sure to unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet. If the
unit is moved with the power cord attached,
it can cause damage to the cord which
could result in fire or electric shock.
Operating Safeguards
If the unit falls down or gets damaged, turn
the unit off, and unplug the power cord.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric
shock.
