Getting To Know Your Machine

Precaution

Power and Ground Connection Cautions

Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated
connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat and
eventually cause fire over an extended period of time.

Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord
is required, always use a properly rated cord.

● 240 V/13 A
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke
or become hot to the touch externally.

Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not
place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.

For Your Safety

To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this section carefully before using the Panasonic
DP-2330/3030 to ensure proper and safe operation of your machine.

■ This section explains the graphic symbols used in this Operating Instructions manual.

WARNING:

Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION:

Denotes hazards that could result in minor injury or damage to the machine.

■ This section also explains the graphic symbols used in this Operating Instructions manual.

These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure
that must not be performed.

These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure
that must be emphasized in order to operate the machine safely.

Installation and Relocation Cautions

Do not place the machine near heaters or volatile, flammable, or combustible materials
such as curtains that may catch fire.

Do not place the machine in a hot, humid, dusty or poorly ventilated environment.
Prolonged exposure to these adverse conditions can cause fire or electric shocks.

Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand a weight of 158 lb
(72 kg). If tilted, the machine may tip-over and cause injuries.

When relocating the machine, contact your Service Provider.

When moving the machine, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the
machine is moved with the power cord attached, it can cause damage to the cord which
could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

WARNING

9

Getting To Know

Your Machine

Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, contact your Service Provider for a
replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.

Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell,
or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch Off and
unplug the machine, and contact your Service Provider.

Do not disconnect or reconnect the machine while it is on. Disconnecting a live connector can deform
the plug and cause fire.

When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord can
damage it and cause fire or electric shock.

When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it Off and unplug it. If an unused
machine is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation can cause electric
shocks, current leakage or fire.

Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning,
maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause electric shock.

Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for
accessing interface cables, maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can
cause electric shock.

Once a month, unplug the machine and check the power cord for the following. If you notice any
unusual condition, contact your Service Provider.

● The power cord is plugged firmly into the receptacle.

● The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.

● The plug and receptacle are free of dust.

● The cord is not cracked or frayed.

Others

■ The machine has a built-in circuit for protection against lightning-induced surge current. If lightning strikes in your
neighborhood, switch Off the machine. Disconnect the power cord from the machine and reconnect only when the
lightning has stopped.

■ If you notice flickering or distorted images or noises on your audio-visual units, your machine may be causing
radio interference. Switch it Off and if the interference disappears, the machine is the cause of the radio interference.
Perform the following procedure until the interference is corrected.

● Move the machine and the TV and/or radio away from each other.

● Reposition or reorient the machine and the TV and/or radio.

● Unplug the machine, TV and/or radio, and replug them into outlets that operate on different circuits.

● Reorient the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops. For an outdoor antenna, ask

your local electrician for support.

● Use a coaxial cable antenna.

Operating Safeguards

Do not touch areas where these caution labels are attached to, the surface may be very hot and may
cause severe burns.

Do not place any liquid container such as a vase or coffee cup on the machine. Spilt water can cause
fire or shock hazard.

Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the machine. If metal and flammable parts get
into the machine, they can short-circuit internal components, and cause fire or electric shocks.

If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the machine, switch Off and unplug the machine. Contact your
Service Provider. Operating a debris-contaminated machine can cause fire or electric shock.

Never open or remove machine covers that are secured with screws unless specifically instructed in
the “Operating Instructions”. A high-voltage component can cause electric shocks.

Do not try to alter the machine configuration or modify any parts. An unauthorized modification can
cause smoke or fire.
