Read the following before operating the AW4416

❒Warnings

•Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.

•Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electri- cal shock hazard.

•Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

•Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.

•If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

•Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit without heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may result.

•If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

•Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

❒Cautions

•When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be: 10 cm at the sides, 20 cm behind, and 30 cm above.

For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of the rack or open a ven- tilation hole.

If the airflow is not adequate, the unit will heat up inside and may cause a fire.

•This unit has ventilation holes at the bottom to prevent the internal tempera- ture rising too high. Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a fire hazard.

•Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
