  Precautions concerning batteries

Misuse of batteries could cause them to rupture or leak leading 
to  fire,  injury  or  the  staining  of  nearby  things.  Please  read  and 
observe the following precautions carefully.

Be  sure  to  insert  the  batteries  with  correct  positive  (

 

o

+

)  and 

negative (

_

) orientations.

Use  batteries  of  the  same  type.  Never  use  different  types  of 

 

o

batteries together.
If the remote control is not used for a long time (more than a 

 

o

month), remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking.
If the batteries leak, wipe away the leakage inside the battery 

 

o

compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer  all  servicing  to  qualified  service  personnel.  Servicing  is 

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such 
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled 
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been 
exposed  to  rain  or  moisture,  does  not  operate  normally,  or  has 
been dropped.

The  apparatus  draws  nominal  non-operating  power  from  the 

 

o

AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON 

position.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect 

 

o

device shall remain readily operable.
Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones 

 

o

with the product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from 
earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.

Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.

 

o

Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on 

 

o

the apparatus.
Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book 

 

o

case or similar unit.
The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet 

 

o

so that you can easily reach the power cord plug at any time.
If  the  product  uses  batteries  (including  a  battery  pack  or 

 

o

installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire 
or excessive heat.
CAUTION  for  products  that  use  replaceable  lithium  batteries: 

 

o

there  is  danger  of  explosion  if  a  battery  is  replaced  with  an 
incorrect  type  of  battery.  Replace  only  with  the  same  or 
equivalent type.

Products  with  Class    construction  are  equipped  with  a  power 
supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord of such a product 
must be plugged into an AC outlet that has a protective grounding 
connection.
