Preventing accidents

R SD cards may become a choking hazard. Keep SD

cards out of reach of children. If you suspect a child has swallowed an SD card, seek medical advice immediately.

R Make sure you turn off the power at the breaker

before performing any wiring work.

R Always connect AC or DC cables to the appropriate

connection terminals. Incorrectly connecting the AC or DC cables may damage the power supply unit.

R To prevent the power cables from disconnecting and

to prevent electric shock, secure the power cables using the cable binders (accessory) and attach the cable covers.

2. Important Information

Insert the power cables firmly all the way into the

terminals. If the cables are not inserted all the way, heat may be generated.

R If the wiring is outdoors, use a protection tube and a

surge protector.

R If the wiring is underground, use a protection tube

and do not make any connections underground.

R Install the product securely adhering to the

instructions in this manual to prevent it from falling off the wall. Avoid installing onto low-strength walls, such as gypsum board, ALC (autoclaved lightweight concrete), concrete block, or veneer (less than 18 mm thick) walls.

R The power supply unit is used as the main disconnect

device. Ensure that the power source is installed near the product and is easily accessible.

R Do not put your ear(s) near the speaker, as loud

sounds emitted from the speaker may cause hearing impairment.

R When using this product, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
