OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE (SERVICING) INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE
ACCOMPANYING THE UNIT.
WARNING
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a
permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss
but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to
sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity: +5 °C to
+35 °C (+41 °F to +95 °F); less than 85 %RH (cooling vents not
blocked)
Do not install this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in locations
exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight (or strong artificial
light)
WARNING
This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock
hazard, do not place any container filled with liquid near
this equipment (such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it
to dripping, splashing, rain or moisture.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug
by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric
shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the
power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or
tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such
that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power
cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock.
Check the power cord once in a while.

the batteries.
Battery Precautions
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as
leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions.
- Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries
properly.
- Do not use new and old batteries together.
- Batteries with the same shape may have different
voltages. Do not use different batteries together.
- When disposing of used batteries, comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public

Remote control unit operating range
Point at the REMOTE SENSOR (signal receiving area) when
operating the remote control unit.
• Obstacles between the remote control unit and REMOTE
SENSOR or a bad angle with the REMOTE SENSOR can
cause inability to operate.
