Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away
from direct sunlight, high temperatures,
high humidity, and excessive vibration.
These conditions can damage the cabinet
and other components, thereby shortening
the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources.
This can overload the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check
the source carefully when setting the unit
up on a ship or other places where DC is
used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected
correctly and not damaged. Poor
connection and lead damage can cause
fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or
place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the
lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause
electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
This can cause electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the
unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can
cause electric shock or malfunction. If this
occurs, immediately disconnect the unit
from the power supply and contact your
dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the
unit. They contain flammable gases which
can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by
yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators
fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these
instructions occurs, disconnect the AC
mains lead and contact your dealer or an
authorized service center. Electric shock
or damage to the unit can occur if the unit
is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed
by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the
unit from the power source if it is not to be
used for a long time.
Safety precautions
CAUTION:
Change the voltage setting to suit the AC voltage in your
area. (\ page 12).
Note that the unit will be seriously damaged or fail to
operate correctly if this setting is not made correctly.
