2. Disconnect when not in use - When not in use, be sure to
disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.
3. Batteries - If the unit is not used for a long period of time or is
used only from an AC power source, remove all the batteries
to prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Do not
mix (old and new ) batteries or different types of batteries.
Installation■Environment1.Condensation - Moisture may form on the lens in the follow- ing conditions…•immediately after a heater has been turned on.•in a steamy or very humid room.

•when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one. If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. To correct this problem wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

■Placement

1.Foreign Material - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

2.Magnetism - The unit should be situated away from equipment or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

3.Stacking - Do not place any objects on top of the unit.
Service

CAUTION!

THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER.

USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

DO NOT OPEN COVERS AND DO NOT REPAIR YOURSELF. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.INFORMATION (For Canada)

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com- munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment and re- ceiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones are an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:•Start your volume control at a low setting.

•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:• Set the dial and leave it there.
Dry cell batteries

To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.

•Align the , and . polarities properly when inserting the bat- teries.•Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and new batteries.

•Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.

•Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, dis- assemble or subject them to excessive heat.

•Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.Carrying dry cell batteries around

When putting dry cell batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.

AC adaptor•Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dan- gerous.•Do not touch it with wet hands.•Do not place heavy objects on top of it.•Do not forcibly bend it.•Be sure to connect only the specified AC adaptor with the unit.

•Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time.

Locations to be avoided

Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they can cause malfunctioning.

1.Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places.2.Warehouses and other dusty places3.Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of timeThis may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also cause malfunctioning.When purchasing AC adaptor / AC plug adaptor

Be absolutely sure to purchase the AC adaptor designed especially for this unit.

AC adaptor: AA-R4513 (for the U.S.A. and Canada) AA-R4516 (for multi voltage area)

AC plug adaptor: QAM0060-001 (for multi voltage area)For details, check with your dealer.
CAUTION:

•Do not block the ventilation opening or holes. (If the venti- lation openings of holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

•Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.

•When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and local rules or laws governing the dis- posal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

•Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
