WARNING
•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 elec-
trical shock hazard.
•Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the
unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may
result.
•Do not place a container with liquid or small metal
objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects
inside this unit are 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.
•Do not install a CD-RW drive into this device while
the power cable is plugged into an AC outlet. Doing
so is an electrical shock hazard.
•Use the ground connector on the rear panel to
securely ground the device. If the device is not
grounded, you may suffer a dangerous electrical
shock.
•Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power
cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
•Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electri-
cal shock hazard.
•If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power
switch of the unit as soon as possible, and unplug the
power cable plug from the electrical outlet.
•If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the
power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may
be an electrical shock hazard.
•Use only the included AC adaptor (PA-300) for this
unit. Using other types may be a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
•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 elec-
trical shock hazard.
•Should this unit and AC adaptor be dropped or the
cabinet be damaged, turn the power switch off,
remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and con-
tact your dealer. If you continue using the unit with-
out heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock
may result.
•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.
CAUTION
•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.
•Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing
so is a potential electrical shock hazard.
•This unit has ventilation holes at the bottom and rear
to prevent the internal temperature rising too high.
Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a
fire hazard.
In particular, do not
-place the unit on its side or upside down,
-place the unit in any poorly-ventilated location
such as a bookcase or closet.
-cover the unit with a table cloth or place it on a
carpet or bed.
•Always touch a well-grounded metal surface or the
like to fully discharge any static electric charge on
your body and clothing before handling a CD-RW
drive.
Neglecting this precaution can cause damage to the
unit from static electricity.
•Be careful not to touch the leads (metal feet) on the
rear side when handling a CD-RW drive. Touching
the leads can cause contact defects.
•Do not cover or wrap the AC adaptor with a cloth or
blanket. Heat may build up under the cloth or blan-
ket, melting the case, or causing fire. Use only in a
well-ventilated environment.
