Before You Start  
When you operate this product, the power  
outlet should be near the product and easily  
accessible.  
For Your Safety  
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this  
section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper  
and safe operation of your unit.  
To ensure safe operation, the power cord  
supplied must be inserted into a standard  
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively  
grounded (earthed) through the normal  
wiring.  
This section explains the graphic symbols used  
in this manual.

WARNING  
The fact that the equipment operates  
satisfactorily does not imply that the power  
point is grounded (earthed) and that the  
installation is completely safe. For your  
safety, if in any doubt about the effective  
grounding (earthing) of the power point,  
consult a qualified electrician.

injury or damage to  
CAUTION  
the unit.  
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC  
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to  
replace the AC outlet with a properly  
grounded (earthed) one.  
These symbols are used to  
alert operators to a specific  
operating procedure that  
must not be performed.  
Do not defeat the grounding (earthing) plug  
(ex. do not use a conversion plug).  
These symbols are used to  
alert operators to a specific  
operating procedure that  
must be emphasized in order  
to operate the unit safely.  
Connect the AC adaptor firmly to the power  
cord, and plug the power cord firmly into an  
AC outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or  
electric shock.  
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe  
the power cord, plug, and AC adaptor.  
Damage to the power cord or plug can  
cause fire or electric shock.  
For Users  
WARNING  
Do not attempt to repair the power cord,  
plug, or AC adaptor. If the power cord or  
plug is damaged or frayed, contact an  
authorized service representative for a  
replacement.  
Power and Ground Connection  
The power source voltage of this unit is  
listed on the nameplate.  
Only plug the unit into an AC outlet with the  
proper voltage.  
If you use a cord with an unspecified  
current rating, the unit or plug may emit  
smoke or become hot to the touch.  
Ensure that the plug connection is free of  
dust. In a damp environment, a  
contaminated connector can draw a  
significant amount of current that can  
generate heat, and eventually cause fire if  
left unattended over an extended period of  
time.

contact your dealer for service.  
Power  
The unit should be used only with the  
power cord and AC adaptor enclosed with  
the unit.  
When disconnecting the unit, grasp the  
plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord  
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or  
electric shock.  
When the unit is not used over an extended  
period of time, switch it off, and unplug it. If  
an unused unit is left connected to a power  
source for a long period, degraded  
insulation may cause electric shock,  
current leakage, or fire.  
Operating Safeguards  
If water gets into the unit, turn the unit off,  
and unplug the unit immediately. Contact  
your dealer for service. Operating the  
contaminated unit can cause fire or electric  
shock.  
Installation and Relocation  
Do not position the unit in a location where  
it is unstable.  
Do not open covers, and do not attempt to  
repair the unit yourself. Contact your dealer  
for service.  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not  
expose this unit to rain or any type of  
moisture.  
Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.  
Alteration or modification can cause fire or  
electric shock.  
Do not place the unit in a hot humid or dusty  
environment.  
Prolonged exposure to these adverse  
conditions may cause fire or electric shock.  
During thunderstorms, do not touch the  
unit, plug and AC adaptor. It may cause an  
electric shock.  
When moving the unit, be sure to unplug  
the power cord from the AC outlet. If the  
unit is moved with the power cord attached,  
it can cause damage to the cord which  
could result in fire or electric shock.  
Operating Safeguards  
If the unit falls down or gets damaged, turn  
the unit off, and unplug the power cord.  
Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric  
shock.
