Precautions
Power Supply
Position the system near the wall outlet used. In
case of strange noises, fumes, or smoke from the
system, immediately unplug the AC power cord
to turn all power off. Only pressing the power
button on the head mounted unit will not turn the
system off completely.
Installation Environment
Avoid installation in the following environments.
• Places subject to vibration
• In direct sunlight, or where it is very hot or
humid
• Places that are extremely cold
Also avoid putting liquid-filled containers (such
as flower vases) on top of the processor unit, or
using the system where it may be splashed. The
system may be damaged if splashed with water.
Lens Care
• Handle the lenses on the head mounted unit
carefully to avoid smears or scratches. If the
lenses become dirty, wipe them gently with a
soft lens-cleaning cloth.
• Do not use liquid solutions, such as lenscleaning fluid, water, or alcohol-based cleaners.
Cleaning the System
Clean outer surfaces of the system using a soft
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent. Do
not use solvents, such as thinner, benzine, or
alcohol, which may damage surfaces.
Extended Listening at High Volume
Listening at high volume over extended periods
may harm hearing. To protect your hearing, avoid
listening at excessive volume.
Initial Volume
To avoid sudden loud output, keep the initial
volume low. Increase the volume gradually until
the desired level is reached.
Condensation
Condensation occurs when moisture in the air
condenses on metal panels or other parts, forming
droplets. Condensation may form on outer
surfaces or internally if the system is suddenly
moved from a cold to a warm environment, or
when a heater is turned on in a cold room where
the system is installed. If condensation forms, do
not use the system until the droplets evaporate.
• If the system is not plugged into a wall outlet
Leave the system unplugged, and wait until the
droplets evaporate.
• If the system is not on
Leave the system off, and wait until the droplets
evaporate.
• If the system is on
Leave the system on, and wait until the droplets
evaporate.
Using the system when condensation has formed
may damage it.
Packaging Materials
Keep the original box and protective cushioning
for future use, in case you move or need to ship
the system for repair or other reasons.
