Before using this unit, be sure to read the applicable items of the operating instructions and these safety sug- gestions carefully.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as in the operating instructions.

Safety

1.Power Source—The unit should be connected to power supply only of the type described in the oper- ating instructions or as marked on the unit. Use only the AC adaptor or car adaptor described in the oper- ating instructions when recharging.

2.Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will ﬁt into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to in- sert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to ﬁt, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not de- feat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3.Care of AC adaptor—Take care that the cord of the AC adaptor should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the AC adaptor if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4.Nonuse Periods—When not in use, be sure to dis- connect the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.

5.Batteries—If the set is not used for a long period of time or is used only from an AC power source, re- move all the batteries to prevent potential damage due to possible battery leakage. Do not mix batteries (old and new) or different types of batteries.
