power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock
and/or excessive heat resulting in a fire.
R Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the AC adaptor/
power plug by pulling it from the power outlet, then
wiping with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause
an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a
fire.
R Unplug the product from power outlets if it emits
smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise.
These conditions can cause fire or electric shock.
Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact
