IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your Unit is designed and manufactured to operate within dened design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or re. To prevent your Unit from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for its installation, use, and maintenance. Please read the following safety instructions before operating your Unit. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with a dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A

grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,

use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power

supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch o the power before connecting other components to your Unit.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Unit. A damp cloth is sucient for cleaning. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on your Unit. Do not

use abrasive cleaners.

• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

• When moving your Unit from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before

turning on your Unit to avoid causing re, electric shock, or component damage.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your Unit and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your Unit in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your Unit enclosure. Do not place any objects on the top of your Unit. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a re or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Unit.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always owing into your Unit. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in re or

electric shock.

• The wall socket should be located near your Unit and be easily accessible

English - ii

• Keep your Unit away from moisture. Do not expose your Unit to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your Unit, unplug the power cord and

contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in re or electric shock.

• Do not use your Unit if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your unit yourself.

• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your Unit is dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your Unit may cause re or electric shock.

• Do not install your Unit in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your Unit in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause re or electric shock.

• Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your Unit.

• When unplugging your Unit, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause re or

electric shock. When your Unit will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.

• Insert the remote control batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarity may cause the battery to leak which can damage the remote

control or injure the operator.

• See the important note and rating located on the back of the unit.
