Safety precautions
WARNING!
≥ Only a qualified building contractor shall install or uninstall this
unit.
– Improper installation may cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.
≥ To prevent injury, the unit must be securely attached to the wall in
accordance with the installation instructions.
≥ Do not install the unit where it cannot support the load.
– If the mounting parts are not strong enough, this may cause the unit to
fall, resulting in injury.
≥ Do not use installation methods other than instructed.
– This may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
≥ Do not install the unit at locations other than vertical walls.
– This may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
≥ Take the safety factor for mounting strength into account.
– Insufficient strength will cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.
≥ The wall on which the unit is to be attached to should be capable of
suppor ting 33 kg per screw.
– Insufficient strength of the walls will cause the unit to fall in the long
run.
≥ Do not disassemble or modify the wall-mounting hanger.
– This will cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
CAUTIONS!
≥ Do not install this unit at humid or dusty locations, or locations
where airborne grease or steam may come into contact with the
unit, or under an air conditioner where water may drip onto the unit.
– This may have negative impact on the unit, resulting in fire or electric
shock.
≥ Secure enough space of more than 30 cm above the main unit and
more than 10 cm on the left and right sides respectively. Keep space
between the wall and rear of the unit clear of obstructions.
– Blocking the exhaust holes on the main unit may result in fire.
≥ Use the designated components for installation.
– Otherwise, the main unit may fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
≥ Prevent the mounting screws or AC mains lead from coming into
contact with metal parts inside the wall during installation.
– Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
≥ When removing the main unit, remove the wall mounting screws as
well.
– Otherwise the wall mounting screws may hit a person and lead to
injury.
≥ Install the unit at a height where the USB port and operation buttons
can be seen for safe operation.
– Operating at improper position may cause the unit to fall and be
damaged, resulting in injury.
∫ Notes on installation

– near a sprinkler or a sensor.
– near high-voltage lines or power sources.
– near heating device.
– at locations where the unit is subject to vibration or impact.
– near sources of magnetism, heat, vapour, airborne grease, etc.
– at locations where there may be water droplets (e.g. under an air
conditioner).
≥ Do not install this unit under ceiling lights (e.g. spotlight, halogen
light, etc.).
– Failure to do so may bend the cabinet or lead to damage caused by
high heat.
≥ Use a proper installation method that suits the structure and
material of the wall.
