IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Explanation of Graphical Symbols

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol
within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.

1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with dry cloth.

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,

heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

9 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 fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.

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.

13 Unplug this apparatus during

lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as 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

Handling caution

• Be careful not to drop or apply strong impact to this
unit. Failure to observe this may cause electric shocks,
a fire, or malfunctions.

Battery use

• Do not disassemble a battery. If the contents of the
battery get on your hands or in your eyes, it can cause
blindness or chemical burns.

• Do not dispose of a battery in fire. Do not expose a
battery to high temperatures, such as direct sunlight or
a fire. Doing so may result in the battery bursting,
causing a fire or injury.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not
intended to be charged. Charging could cause the
battery to burst or leak, which can cause blindness,
chemical burns, or injury.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked
fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with
your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water
and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may
possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

CAUTION

This content indicates “risk of injury.”

Power supply

• Do not use an AC outlet where the power plug fits
loosely when inserted. Failure to observe this may
cause a fire, electric shocks, or burns.

• When removing the electric plug from the unit or an AC
outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
Pulling by the cord can damage it and cause electric
shocks or a fire.

• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC
outlet. Using the unit when it is not plugged in
sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on the plug,
causing a fire or burns.

Installation

• Do not place the unit in an unstable position where it
might accidentally drop or fall over and cause injuries.

• When installing this unit, do not obstruct heat
dissipation.

- Do not cover it with any cloth.

- Do not install it on a carpet or rug.

- Do not block this unit's ventilation holes (cooling slits).

- Make sure the top surface faces up; do not install on

its sides or upside down.

- Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated

location.
This unit has ventilation holes on the top to prevent the
internal temperature from becoming too high. Failure to

observe the above may trap heat inside the unit,

causing a fire or malfunctions. Ensure that there is
adequate space around the unit: at least 7 cm (2-3/4 in)
on top, 2 cm (3/4 in) on the sides, and 2 cm (3/4 in) on
the rear.

• Do not install the unit in places where it may come into
contact with corrosive gases or salt air or places that
have excessive smoke or steam. Doing so may result in
malfunction.

• Avoid being near the unit during a disaster, such as an
earthquake. Since the unit may turn over or fall and
cause injury, quickly move away from the unit and go to
a safe place.

• When transporting or moving the unit always use two or
more people. Attempting to lift the unit by yourself may
damage your back, result in other injury, or cause
damage to the unit itself.

• Before moving this unit, be sure to turn off the power
switch and disconnect all connection cables. Failure to
observe this may damage the cables or cause you or
someone else to trip and fall.

Hearing loss

• Do not use headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can
cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Before connecting the unit to other devices, turn off the
power for all devices. Also, before turning the power of
all devices on or off, make sure that all volume levels
are set to the minimum. Failing to do so may result in
hearing loss, electric shock, or device damage.

Maintenance

• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before
cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may cause
electric shocks.

Handling caution

• Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or paper
into the ventilation holes of this unit. Failure to observe
this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.

• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your
children may accidentally swallow them.

• Do not do the following:

- stand on or sit on the equipment.

- put heavy items on top of the equipment.

- place the equipment in a stack.

- apply unreasonable force to buttons, switches, input/

output terminals, etc.
Failure to observe this may cause injuries or damage to
the equipment.

or damage to the unit by causing it to fall.

• Do not operate the unit if the sound is distorting.
Prolonged use in this condition could cause
overheating and result in fire.
