The  apparatus  should  be  located  close  enough  to  the 

• 

AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord 

plug at any time.
The  main  plug  is  used  as  the  disconnect  device,  the 

• 

disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack 

• 

or  installed  batteries),  they  should  not  be  exposed  to 

sunshine, fire or excessive heat.
CAUTION  for  products  that  use  replaceable  lithium  

• 

batteries:  there  is  danger  of  explosion  if  a  battery  is 

replaced  with  an  incorrect  type  of  battery.  Replace 

only with the same or equivalent type.
Caution  should  be  taken  when  using  earphones  or 

• 

headphones  with  the  product  because  excessive 

sound  pressure  (volume)  from  earphones  or  head-

phones can cause hearing loss.

Cautions about Batteries

This  product  uses  batteries.  Misuse  of  batteries  could 

cause  a  leak,  rupture  or  other  trouble.  Always  abide  by 

the following precautions when using batteries.

Never  recharge  non-rechargeable  batteries.  The 

• 

batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
When  installing  batteries,  pay  attention  to  the  polar-

• 

ity  indications  (plus/minus  (+/– )  orientation),  and 

install  them  correctly  in  the  battery  compartment  as 

indicated.  Putting  them  in  backward  could  make  the 

batteries  rupture  or  leak,  causing  fire,  injury  or  stains 

around them. 
When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their termi-

• 

nals with insulation tape or something like that to prevent 

them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
When  throwing  used  bat teries  away,  follow  the 

• 

disposal instructions indicated on the batteries and the 

local disposal laws.
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not 

• 

mix and use new and old batteries or different types of 

batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak, 

causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do  not  carry  or  store  batteries  together  with  small 

• 

metal objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, 

rupture or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them 

• 

in fire or water.  Batteries could rupture or leak, causing 

fire, injury or stains around them.
If  the  battery  fluid  leaks,  wipe  away  any  fluid  on  the 

• 

battery  case  before  inserting  new  batteries.  If  the 

battery  fluid  gets  in  an  eye,  it  could  cause  loss  of 

eyesight.  If  fluid  does  enter  an  eye,  wash  it  out  thor-

oughly  with  clean  water  without  rubbing  the  eye  and 

then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a 

person’s  body  or  clothing,  it  could  cause  skin  injuries 

or  burns.  If  this  should  happen,  wash  it  off  with  clean 

water and then consult a doctor immediately.
