Page 4

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below. Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Power Source -- The unit should be connected to power sup-

ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC

power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safe- ty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods -- When the unit is not used, turn the power

off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Installation

Environment

1. Water and Moisture -- Do not use this unit near water-for ex-

ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. Damp basements should also be avoided.

2. Condensation -- Moisture may form onthe lens in the follow- ing cases...

• immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• in a steamy or very humid room.

• when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to

a warm one.

If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly.

To correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one

hour for the moisture to evaporate.

3. Heat -- The unit should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators and the like. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 350C (95 °F).

Placement

1. Ventilation -- The unit should be situated so that its location

or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow

10 cm (4") clearance from the rear of the unit.

2. Foreign Material -- Care should be taken so that objects do

not fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not sub- ject this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

3. Magnetism -- The unit should be situated away from equip- ment or devices that generate strong magnetism.

4. Stacktng -- Do not place heavy objects, other than system components, on top of the unit.

5. Surface -- Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

6, Carts and Stands -- The unit should be used only with a cart

or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. The unit and cart combination should be mov-

ed with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart com-

bination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The unit should not be mounted

to a wall or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instruc- tions.

Maintenance

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly

moistened with mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent

such as alcohol or benzine.

Service

Damage Requiring Service --The unit should be serviced by

qualified service personnel when: (a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;

(b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit;

or (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or (d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or (e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. Servicing -- The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

CAUTION:

• This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department

of Communications.

• THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER. USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFOR- MANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE

SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIA- TION EXPOSURE.

DO NOT OPEN COVERS AND DO NOT REPAIR YOURSELF.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
