IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instruc- tions handy for future reference.

Safety

1.Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2.Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug does- n’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete out- let. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

3.Power cord protection—Route the AC power sup- ply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4.Overloading—When connecting the AC power sup- ply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5.Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected to a household AC outlet for extended periods can cause battery fluid leakage.

6.Attachments and accessories—Use only the at- tachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Installation

Placement

1.Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to ex- cessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.

2.Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

3.Stacking—Do not place anything on top of this unit.

4.Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instruc- tions.

Environment

1.Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2.Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators. Do not leave it in an automobile ex- posed to direct sunlight with the doors and windows closed as this may deform the cabinet.

2.Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5 oC (41 oF) or rise above 35 oC (95 oF).

Maintenance

(See page 7 for details.)

Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.

Clean with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or sol- vents.

Service

1.Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:

1.(a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged; or

1.(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or

1.(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or

1.(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

1.(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet dam- aged.

2.Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit be- yond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing per- sonnel.

3.Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the man- ufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

4.Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the ser- vicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.
