' It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage
such as for an air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection,
IA DC power source cannot be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a
ship or other place where DC is used.

as this may result in fire or electric shock hazard.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be
avoided.
' Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power,
as this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly
when you disconnect the power supply.
' Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock
could result.
• Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins,
screwdrivers etc, accidentally fall into the unit or through the
ventilation holes.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.
• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the
unit, as a fire or electric shock could occur.
