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.
Never touch the plug or AC adaptor with
wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if the unit
CAUTION
emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal
smell, or unusual noise. These conditions
