1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Be sure to read the instructions in this section carefully before use.
•Make sure to observe the instructions in this manual as the conventions of safety symbols and messages
regarded as very important precautions are included.
•We also recommend you keep this instruction manual handy for future reference.
Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be
splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or
electric shock.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could
result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING
•Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified
may result in fire or electric shock.
•Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power
cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the power
cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
•Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface.
Doing so may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.
•Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately stop the power supply to the unit and
contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the unit in this condition as this may
cause fire or electric shock.
·If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.
·If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
·If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
·If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.)
·If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)
·If it is malfunctioning (no image appears.)
•To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the unit case as there are high voltage
components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.
•Do not touch a power plug during thunder and lightning, as this may result in electric shock.
•Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they
accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire or electric shock.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could
result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.
CAUTION
•Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock.
•When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord
itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.
•When moving the unit, be sure to remove its power supply cord from the wall outlet. Moving the unit with the
power cord connected to the outlet may cause damage to the power cord, resulting in fire or electric shock.
When removing the power cord, be sure to hold its plug to pull.
•Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric
shock.
•Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal
injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.
•Contact your TOA dealer as to the cleaning. If dust is allowed to accumulate in the unit over a long period of
time, a fire or damage to the unit may result.
•If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the wall AC outlet, a fire may result. Clean it periodically.
In addition, insert the plug in the wall outlet securely.
•Disconnect the power supply cord for safety purposes when cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days
or more. Doing otherwise may cause a fire or electric shock.
