Your Machine

Getting To Know

Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, contact your Service Provider for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.

Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch Off and unplug the machine, and contact your Service Provider.

Do not disconnect or reconnect the machine while it is on. Disconnecting a live connector can deform the plug and cause fire.

When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord can damage it and cause fire or electric shock.

When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it Off and unplug it. If an unused machine is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation can cause electric shocks, current leakage or fire.

Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning, maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause electric shock.

Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for accessing interface cables, maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause electric shock.

Once a month, unplug the machine and check the power cord for the following. If you notice any unusual condition, contact your Service Provider.

●The power cord is plugged firmly into the receptacle.

●The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.

●The plug and receptacle are free of dust.

●The cord is not cracked or frayed.

Others

■The machine has a built-in circuit for protection against lightning-induced surge current. If lightning strikes in your neighborhood, switch Off the machine. Disconnect the power cord from the machine and reconnect only when the lightning has stopped.

■If you notice flickering or distorted images or noises on your audio-visual units, your machine may be causing radio interference. Switch it Off and if the interference disappears, the machine is the cause of the radio interference. Perform the following procedure until the interference is corrected.

●Move the machine and the TV and/or radio away from each other.

●Reposition or reorient the machine and the TV and/or radio.

●Unplug the machine, TV and/or radio, and replug them into outlets that operate on different circuits.

●Reorient the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops. For an outdoor antenna, ask your local electrician for support.

●Use a coaxial cable antenna.

Operating Safeguards

WARNING

Do not touch areas where these caution labels are attached to, the surface may be very hot and may cause severe burns.

Do not place any liquid container such as a vase or coffee cup on the machine. Spilt water can cause fire or shock hazard.

Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the machine. If metal and flammable parts get into the machine, they can short-circuit internal components, and cause fire or electric shocks.

If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the machine, switch Off and unplug the machine. Contact your

Service Provider. Operating a debris-contaminated machine can cause fire or electric shock.

Never open or remove machine covers that are secured with screws unless specifically instructed in the “Operating Instructions”. A high-voltage component can cause electric shocks.

Do not try to alter the machine configuration or modify any parts. An unauthorized modification can

cause smoke or fire.
