•When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

Avoid moisture, water and dust

•Do not place the unit in moist or dusty places.

•If water gets inside the unit, turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the unit in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

Avoid high temperatures

•Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

Notes on installation

•Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

•Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

•Do not install the unit in a place subject to vibrations.

To prevent malfunction of the unit
