When Installing the Unit
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.
• 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.
Be sure to replace the unit's terminal cover after
connection completion. Because the voltage of up
to 140 V is applied to the high impedance speaker
terminals, never touch these terminals to avoid
electric shock. (DA-500F-HL only)
External wiring connected to the terminals marked
with requires installation by an instructed person.
The apparatus shall be connected to a mains
socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
When the Unit is in Use
Should the following irregularity be found during
use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect
the power supply plug from the AC outlet 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.)
• 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 such
as modification inside the unit to qualified service
personnel.
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.
Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or flammable
materials in the ventilation slots of the unit's cover,
as this may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not touch a plug during thunder and lightning,
as this may result in electric shock.
When Installing the Unit
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.
To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the
unit's power when connecting speakers.
