INFORMATION ON DISPOSAL FOR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE(U.K.,Ireland) FOR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE(Australia, New Zealand)

• While IG-BC2J can remove suspended viruses and other contaminants, it cannot create a completely sterile environment. SHARP does not guarantee its ability to prevent microbial infection.

• To enable stable emission of high-density Plasmacluster ions, the Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit mounted in IG-BC2J will need to be replaced periodically*

•

The unit is designed for ordinary passenger cars with DC 12V batteries. It cannot be used in vehicles with DC 24V batteries (buses, trucks, etc.).

* Replacement is required approximately every 6 years (17,500 hours) when

operated 8 hours a day. IG-BC2J will stop operating after about 6 years and 6 months (19,000 hours) if the Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit is not replaced.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read instructions carefully before using this unit as below. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be

followed, including the following:

WARNINGS - To reduce the risk of electric shock, ﬁ re or injury :

• Do not operate switches while driving. (Doing so could lead to accidents.)

• Do not install the unit in places where it could hamper visibility to the front or driving operations, or in places where it could be dangerous to passengers. (Doing so could lead to accidents or injury.)

• Do not put in places exposed to direct sunlight. (Do so could cause warping or malfunction.)

• This unit is designed exclusively for use in vehicles with 12V batteries. Do not use it in other vehicles. Do not use the unit in large trucks, buses or other vehicles with 24V batteries. (Doing so could lead to ﬁ re or electric shock.)

• Do not damage or modify the cord. Also, do not use the cord if it is damaged. (The damaged section could cause short-circuiting and the cord could melt, leading to ﬁ re.)

If the cord is damaged, contact your store of purchase.

• Do not pull on the cord when unplugging the cigar plug or the unit connection plug. (Doing so could damage the cord, leading to ﬁ re or electric shock.)

• Do not plug in or unplug the cigar plug or the unit connection plug with wet hands. (Doing so could cause electric shock.)

• When transporting, be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to shocks.

(Doing so could cause injury or damage.) If the unit should drop or get damaged, contact your store of purchase. Continued usage as such could lead to ﬁ re or electric shock.

• Do not modify the unit. Also, no one other than an authorized repairman should take apart or repair the unit. (Doing so could lead to ﬁ re, electric shock or injury.)

Contact your store of purchase for repairs.

• Do not spill beverages or drop cigarette ashes, metal objects, easily burnable objects, etc., into the unit through the air outlet or air intake.

Be particularly careful if there are small children in your family. If water or foreign

substances should get inside the unit, unplug the cigar plug from the cigar lighter socket.

(Continued usage as such could lead to ﬁ re or electric shock.) Contact your store of purchase.

• Do not wipe the unit with oils, alcohol, benzene or thinner, or spray hairspray or insecticides on the unit.

If such substances should get on the unit, wipe them off immediately. (Such substances could lead to cracking or electric shock or could catch ﬁ re.)

• Use the car adapter designed exclusively for this unit, and insert the cigar plug securely all the way in until it stops.

(If the cigar plug is not inserted securely until it stops, it could heat up, deforming the

cigar lighter socket, and this could lead to ﬁ re.)

• If the fuse should blow, be sure to replace it with a 5A glass tube fuse (commercially available). Never use a piece of wire, etc., in place of the fuse.

(Using anything other than the speciﬁ ed type of fuse could cause heating, leading to ﬁ re.)

• Be sure to unplug the cigar plug from the cigar lighter socket when cleaning. (Failure to do so could cause electric shock or injury.)

E-2

• Be sure to unplug the cigar plug from the cigar lighter socket when not using the unit for long periods of time. (Failure to do so could lead to electric shock or ﬁ re caused by short- circuiting.)

• If the cigar lighter socket is integrated into the ashtray, be sure that cigarettes are completely put out before using.

When leaving the vehicle, unplug the cigar plug and close the ashtray’s lid. (Failure to do so could lead to ﬁ re caused by the smoldering cigarettes.)

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION:

• Do not touch the metal parts of the car adapter’s cigar plug (or of the cigar lighter socket).

(The metal parts of the cigar plug could be hot directly after the car is stopped, and could

cause burns if touched.)

• Do not use the unit in commercially available cup holders, on shaky or non-level surfaces or in other unstable places. (The unit could fall, resulting in injury or damage.)

• Move the unit out of the car when using room fumigating type insecticides or deodorizers.

If not, the chemicals could get inside the unit and later be ejected from the air outlet,

possibly harming your health.

• If the unit risks falling out of the cup holder (when driving on rough roads, over bumps, etc.), either slow down or remove the unit from the cup holder beforehand.

(Failure to do so could cause injury or damage to the unit.)

• Do not use items of silicone-containing products* near the unit.

The ﬂ uororesin or silicone could get stuck inside the unit, preventing it from producing

plasmacluster ions.

If this happens, remove the dust from the electrode section of the Plasmacluster Ion

Generating Unit. (See E-9)

* Hair care products (split end coatings, hair mousses, hair treatments, etc.), cosmetics,

antiperspirants, antistatic agents, waterprooﬁ ng sprays, polishes, glass cleaners, chemical- impregnated clothes, wax, etc.
