Beware of condensation

If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or the unit may not function correctly.

This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried-out. (To do this, turn the ON/STANDBY key ON and leave the unit as it is for several hours.)

Be especially careful in the following conditions:

÷When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm place, and there is a large temperature difference.

÷When a heater starts operating.

÷When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a place of high temperature with high humidity.

÷When there is a large difference between the internal temperature of the unit and the ambient temperature, or in conditions where condensation occurs easily.
