GETTING STARTED

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away

from direct sunlight, high temperatures,

high humidity, and excessive vibration.

These conditions can damage the cabinet

and other components, thereby shortening

the unit’s service life.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources.

This can overload the unit and cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check

the source carefully when setting the unit

up on a ship or other places where DC is

used.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected

correctly and not damaged. Poor

connection and lead damage can cause

fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or

place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the

lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause

electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands.

This can cause electric shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the

unit. This can cause electric shock or

malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can

cause electric shock or malfunction. If this

occurs, immediately disconnect the unit

from the power supply and contact your

dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the

unit. They contain flammable gases which

can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by

yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators

fail to light, smoke appears, or any other

problem that is not covered in these

instructions occurs, disconnect the AC

mains lead and contact your dealer or an

authorized service center. Electric shock

or damage to the unit can occur if the unit

is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed

by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the

unit from the power source if it is not to be

used for a long time.
