User Manual 5

Table of Contents

For Your Safety

To prevent personal injury and/or damage to property,

be sure to observe the following safety precautions.

The following symbols classify and describe the

level of hazard and injury caused when this unit is

operated or handled improperly.

WARNING

Denotes a potential hazard that could result in

serious injury or death.

CAUTION

Denotes a hazard that could result in minor injury or

damage to the unit or other equipment.

The following types of symbols are used to classify

and describe the type of instructions to be

observed. (The following symbols are examples.)

This symbol is used to alert users to a specific

operating procedure that must not be performed.

This symbol is used to alert users to a specific

operating procedure that must be followed in order

to operate the unit safely.

WARNING

General

Follow all warnings and instructions

marked on the unit.

Power and Earth Connection

The power source voltage of this unit is

listed on the nameplate. Only plug the

unit into an AC outlet with the proper

voltage. If you use a cord with an

unspecified current rating, the unit or

plug may emit smoke or become hot to

the touch.

Do not connect the unit to the AC outlet,

AC extension cords, etc., in a way that

exceeds the power rating of, or does not

comply with the instructions provided

with, the AC outlet, AC extension cords,

etc.

To ensure safe operation the power cord

supplied must be inserted into a

standard three-prong AC outlet which is

effectively earthed through the normal

wiring.

The fact that the equipment operates

satisfactorily does not imply that the

power point is earthed and that the

installation is completely safe. For your

safety, if in any doubt about the effective

earthing of the power point, consult a

qualified electrician.

Plug the power cord firmly into an AC

outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or

electric shock.

Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or

chafe the power cord and plug. Damage

to the power cord or plug can cause fire

or electric shock.

6 User Manual

For Your Safety

To prevent fires, electric shock, injury, or

damage to the unit, be sure to follow

these guidelines when performing any

wiring or cabling:

a. Before performing any wiring or

cabling, unplug the unit’s power cord

from the outlet. After completing all

wiring and cabling, plug the power

cord back into the outlet.

b. Do not place any objects on top of

the cables connected to the unit.

c. When running cables along the floor,

use protectors to prevent the cables

from being stepped on.

d. Do not run any cables under

carpeting.

Do not attempt to repair the power cord,

or plug. If the power cord or plug is

damaged or frayed, contact an

authorised service representative for a

replacement.

Ensure that the plug connection is free

of dust. In a damp environment, a

contaminated connector can draw a

significant amount of current that can

generate heat, and eventually cause fire

if left unattended over an extended

period of time.

Stop operation immediately if the unit

emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal

smell or unusual noise. These conditions

can cause fire or electric shock.

Immediately turn the unit off, and unplug

the power cord, and contact your dealer

for service.

Do not connect or disconnect the AC

plug with wet hands. Danger of electric

shock exists.

When disconnecting the unit, grasp the

plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a

cord forcibly can damage it, and cause

fire or electric shock.

During thunderstorms, do not touch the

unit and plug. It may cause an electric

shock.

Operating Safeguards

Do not disassemble this unit. Only

qualified personnel should service this

unit. Disassembling the unit may expose

you to dangerous voltages or other risks.

Incorrect reassembly can cause electric

shock.

Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.

Alteration or modification can cause fire

or electric shock.

If metal fragments or water gets into the

unit, turn the unit off and unplug the unit

immediately. Contact your dealer for

service. Operating the contaminated unit

can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not insert objects of any kind into this

unit, as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short out parts that

could result in a fire or electric shock.

Do not use a unit in the vicinity of a gas

leak to report the leak.

Do not place the remote control in

microwave ovens or on induction

cookware.

Clean the AC plug periodically with a

soft, dry cloth to remove dust and other

debris.

Do not use the supplied power cord with

any other device. It may cause fire or

electric shock.

Never open or remove unit covers that

are screwed with screws. A high-voltage

component can cause electric shock.

User Manual 7

For Your Safety

Unplug the unit from the AC outlet and

have it serviced by qualified service

personnel in the following cases:

a. If the unit does not operate

according to the operating

instructions. Adjust only the controls

that are explained in the operating

instructions. Improper adjustment of

other controls may result in damage

and may require service by a

qualified technician to restore the

unit to normal operation.

b. If the unit has been dropped or the

cabinet has been damaged.

c. If unit performance deteriorates.

If damage to the unit exposes any

internal parts, disconnect the power cord

immediately and return the unit to your

dealer.

Installation

Do not install the unit in any other way

than described in relevant manuals.

Do not touch the unit, AC adaptor, AC

adaptor cord, or AC cord during a

lightning storm.

The AC adaptor should be connected to

a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC

outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to

a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the

weight of the adaptor may cause it to

become disconnected.

Only connect the unit to the type of

electric power specified on the label

affixed to the unit. Confirm the type of

electric power supplied to the installation

site if necessary.

Battery

The battery contains diluted sulfuric

acid, a very toxic substance. If the

battery leaks and the liquid inside spills

on the skin or clothing, immediately

wash it off with plenty of clean water. If

the liquid splashes into eyes,

immediately flush the eyes with plenty of

clean water and consult a doctor.

Sulfuric acid in the eyes may cause loss

of eyesight and acid on the skin will

cause burns.

Do not charge, short, heat, break or

throw in a fire, as it may result in the

battery leaking, generating heat, or

bursting.

Do not connect the positive terminal and

the negative terminal of the battery to

each other with any metal object (such

as wire).

Do not carry or store the batteries

together with necklaces, hairpins, or

other metal objects.

Do not mix old and new batteries or

different types of batteries.

Batteries that seem worn down or

damaged should not be used. Using

worn down or damaged batteries may

result in leaking.

Do not use rechargeable batteries.

Take the depleted batteries out of the

remote control. Otherwise, the batteries

may leak.
