•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

•To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

On operation and storage locations

Avoid operation or storage in any of the following places.

•Location subject to extremes of temperature (operating temperature range 5ºC to 40ºC (41ºF to 104ºF))

•Location subject to direct sunlight for long periods, or close to heating appliances (Note that the interior of a car left in summer with the windows closed can exceed 50ºC (122ºF).)

•Damp or dusty places

•Location subject to severe vibrations

•Location near equipment generating strong electromagnetic emissions

•Location near transmitting stations generating strong radio waves

Operate the unit in a horizontal position This unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal position. Do not operate it on its side, or tilted through an excessive angle (exceeding 20º).

Avoid violent impacts

Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.

Do not obstruct ventilation openings

To prevent the unit from overheating, do not obstruct ventilation openings, by for example wrapping the unit in a cloth while it is in operation.

On cleaning

If the casing or panel is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. In the event of extreme dirt, use a cloth steeped in a neutral detergent to remove the dirt, then wipe with a dry cloth. Applying alcohol, thinners, insecticides, or other volatile solvents may result in deforming the casing or damaging the finish.

On repacking and shipping

Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory, and take care not to impart violent shocks in transit.
