Before operation

Safety precautions

Never remove the case. If the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock might occur.

If a metal object, such as a hair pin or a needle, comes into contact with the power socket on the rear panel, a dangerous electric shock may result. For families with children, never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside this unit.

Touching the power plug when your hands are wet may result in a serious electric shock.

Never pull, bend or extend the power cord. This could damage the power cord, resulting in a broken cord or short- circuit.

Where to install the unit

Do not place the unit near a heat producing equipment such as a radiator. Avoid direct sunlight.

Do not store or use the unit in a dusty location or in a moist atmosphere. Select a location where air is well ven- tilated.

Install the unit approx. 10 cm (or 4 inches) away from the wall, for heat dissipation.

Install the unit on a flat, vibration-free rigid table.

The unit may not function properly if used at extremely low, or freezing temperatures. The ideal ambient temperature is above +5°C (41°F).
