IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Safety

1.Power Source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2.Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

3.Power Cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4.Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5.Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.

6.Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Installation

Placement

1.Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to overheating ensure curtains and other materials do not obstruct the unit’s ventilation.

2.Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.

3.Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

4.Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.

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

6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts and stands recommended by the manufacturer. Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to overturn.

7.Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

Environment

1.Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2.Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators.

Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5°C (41°F) or rise above 35°C (95°F).

Maintenance

(See page 6 for details.)

Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.

Clean with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.

Service

1.Damage Requiring Service—The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:

(a)The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

(b)Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or

(c)The unit has been exposed to rain; or

(d)The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

(e)The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

2.Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.

3.Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

4.Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.

Cautions for safest use of this unit

Installation location

1.A well-ventilated place.

Take care not to use this unit in a place where it will not receive sufficient ventilation, and not to permit the ventilation holes to be covered by curtains, or any similar materials.

2.Place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat from heating equipment.

3.A place where humidity, vibration and dust are minimized.

If operation seems abnormal

Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.

Discontinue using the unit at once. Failure to do so may result in additional damage or some other unexpected damage or accident.

•Because the power source is located inside the unit, it is normal for the cabinet to become warm.

Power source

1.Be sure the line voltage selector is in accordance with local voltage in your area before connecting the plug to the socket.

2.DC power cannot be used.

A word about the power cord

If the power cord is scarred, is partially cut or bronken, or has a bad contact, it may cause a fire or serious electrical shock if used. NEVER use a damaged power cord for any appliance. Moreover, the power cord should never be forcibly bent.

Handling the power cord

1.Never touch the power cord, or its plug, with wet hands.

2.Don’t pull the power cord.

Metal items inside the unit may result in electric shock or damage.

Do not permit metal articles to get inside the unit.

Be especially careful with regard to this point if children are near this unit. They should be warned never to try to put anything inside.

If, nevertheless, some such article does get inside, disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where the unit was purchased.

If water gets into the unit

Disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.

As a precaution, it is suggested that flower vases and other containers which hold liquids not be placed on the top of this unit.

Don’t touch the inside parts of this unit.

Some places inside this unit have high voltage potential. Never try to remove the top or back panels of this unit, or to touch inside parts by hand or with tools.

Contact someone who is qualified in order to inspect the inside, or to replace a fuse, if such becomes necessary. Never attempt to do these things yourself.

Maintenance

The following suggestions will assist you in keeping the unit in top condition.

•Be sure to switch the instrument off after use, and do not switch the unit on and off in quick succession, as this places an undue load on the electronic components.

•To keep the luster of the surface and buttons, simply use a clean, damp cloth; polish with a soft, dry cloth. Polish may be used but do not use thinners or petro-chemical-based polishes.

•A wax-based polish may be used on the cabinet, although you will find that rubbing with a soft cloth will suffice.

•This product may receive radio interference caused by mobile telephones during use. If such interference is apparent, please increase separation between the product and the mobile telephone.

•Keep the SD Memory Card out of the reach of children to prevent them from swallowing it. (KN2600)

SVENSK:

•Det kan inträffa att den här produkten under användningen tar emot radiostörningar, orsakade av mobiltelefoner. Öka avståndet mellan produkten och mobiltelefonen om störningarna är uppenbara.

•Håll SD-minneskortet utom räckhåll för barn, för att förhindra att ett barn sväljer det. (KN2600)

SERVICE MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY DEALER
