Safety Precautions (continued)

Place of storage and use

Moving the unit

Avoid storing or using the unit in the following places. Failure to do so may lead to malfunction or breakdown.

Extremely hot or cold places beyond the allowable tem- perature for operation (-5˚C to 40˚C)

Humid or dry places beyond the allowable humidity range for operation (30% to 80%)

Places that generate strong magnetic fields, e.g. trans- formers or motors

Places near devices that generate electric waves, e.g. transceivers or mobile phones

Dusty or sandy places

Places exposed to strong vibration

Places prone to condensation, such as by a window

Places that generate radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases

Disconnect the cords before moving the unit.

Before moving the unit, turn off the power and be sure to unplug the power cord from the electric outlet.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the cord or lead to fire or electric shock.

Wrap the unit in protective packing to prevent physical shocks.

Handle the unit with care. Do not subject it to vibration or physical shocks.

Saving power

For safety reasons and to save energy, unplug the power cord when the unit is not in use for long periods.

Handling the unit

Do not stack units on top of each other.

Doing so may cause malfunction or failure due to over- heating or noise, or lead to fire.

Do not block the ventilation openings.

If the openings are blocked, heat will build up inside the unit, leading to fire. Do not use the unit in a vertical posi- tion or when it is placed upside down or face up.

Do not place any objects on the unit.

Placing a heavy object such as a TV monitor or a large object that protrudes over the edge of the unit on top of the unit may cause it to overbalance and topple over or fall off and cause injury.

Do not climb on the unit.

Doing so may cause the unit to topple over or be dam- aged. Particular attention should be paid to small chil- dren.

Do not place anything containing water on the unit (such as a vase, plant pot, glass, cosmetics or chemicals).

If water gets inside the unit, it may lead to fire or electric shock.

Do not insert foreign objects into the unit.

If any metal object or flammable item gets into the unit through the ventilation openings, etc., it may lead to fire or electric shock.

Power cord

Do not use the power cord supplied with the unit on other devices.

Do not place heavy items on the power cord or trap the cord under the unit.

Doing so may result in damage to the cord or lead to fire or electric shock.

Be sure to use the power cord supplied with the unit. Using a different type or damaged cord may lead to fire or electric shock.

Maintaining the unit

Wipe the unit with a soft cloth.

Do not use thinner or benzene as this may cause the surface to dissolve or tarnish. For stubborn stains, wipe first with a water-diluted neutral detergent and then wipe dry.
