• While IG-DC2A 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-DC2A 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-DC2A will stop operating after about 6 years
and 6 months (19,000 hours) if the Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit is
not replaced.

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.
• 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.)
• 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.)
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Cautions on wiring the car adapter
• Do not let the cord touch or get caught in the seat rails, shift lever or other
moving parts.
• Wire in such a way that the cord does not get in the way of the driver.
• Consider the movement of the seats (forward/backward, swiveling or
reclining) when wiring.
• Do not bend the cord extremely or compress it.
• Be sure to place on a stable location. (Do not put in a commercially
available cup holder or other unstable place.)
• Do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet.
• Keep the unit away from the vehicle’s in-glass antenna. Failure to do so
could cause noise in the radio.
• If there should be noise in a TV or radio located in the same car, or if an
atomic clock in the car should not display the time properly, move the unit
away from the TV, radio, atomic clock, etc.
•
If the unit is installed directly in front of the car climate control’s outlets, the
unit could get hot when the climate control is operating in the heating mode.
• The unit could get scratched by the vibrations of the vehicle, etc.
Cautions on installation
• Separate the main unit from electronic
key of vehicle by 30cm or more.
Otherwise, it may interferes with
electronic wave of main unit and the
electronic key may not be recognized.
