Important Information

11. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.

12. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning
and power line surges. However, while it is thundering or lightning, do not touch the apparatus and any connected
cable and/or equipment. This will prevent you from receiving the electric shock by an electric surge.

13. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might
be fatal.

14. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

15. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

16. HEAT
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

17. CONNECTING
When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall
outlet. Failure to do so may cause a product damage. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and
follow the instructions when making any connections.

18. LCD
Do not press on or jolt the LCD panel. Doing so may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.
Should the LCD panel be broken and liquid leaks out, do not inhale or swallow it. Doing so may cause poisoning. If
you have got it into your mouth, wash it out and consult your doctor. If your hands or clothes have touched it, wipe
them with alcohol and a cleaning cloth and then wash them well.

Notes on handling

such as dropping it. It may cause malfunction.

 Retain the original shipping carton and packing

materials. Repack the unit as it was originally
packed at the factory. For maximum protection when
shipping.

 Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide, near

the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for long periods of time. Doing

Notes on LCD
 The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high

4

precision technology, but even so may include
certain pixels that do not operate properly (that do
not light, that remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our
best to keep the number of these defective pixels to a
minimum, but please understand that they cannot be
completely eliminated even with the most advanced
manufacturing technologies available today.

 The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panel from

the inside will deteriorate with use. When the LCD
becomes dim, flickers, or does not illuminate, contact
your dealer for replacement.

 The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly

depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the angle to
obtain the best viewing.
