Placement
Avoid placing the unit in areas of:
•direct sunlight
•high temperature
•high humidity
•excessive vibration
•uneven surfaces (Piace the unit on a flat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.
Ventilation
Place the unit in a well ventilated position at least 10 cms away from wall surfaces etc.
Stacking
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the power cord.
Voltage
•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.
•A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship or other place where DC is used.
Power cord protection
Foreign materials
•Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdriv ers etc, accidentally fall into the unit. Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.
•8e extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or electric shock could occur. (Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if this occurs.)
•Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flammable gases which can be ignited.
•Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet finish.
Maintenance
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moist ened with mild detergent solution,
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
Service
•Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precautionary measure.
• If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted, indicators fail to illuminate, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your dealer or Authorized Service Center immediately.
•Disconnect the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long time. Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.
•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC mains cord, 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.
