IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your Unit is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and 
misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your Unit from being damaged, the 
following rules should be observed for its installation, use, and maintenance. Please read 
the following safety instructions before operating your Unit. Keep these instructions in a 
safe place for future reference.

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with a dry cloth.

•  Do  not  block  any  ventilation  openings.  Install  in  accordance  with  the  manufacturer’s 
instructions.

•  Do  not  install  near  any  heat  sources  such  as  radiators,  heat  registers,  stoves,  or  other 
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug 
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third 
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided 
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

•  Use  only  with  the  cart,  stand,  tripod,  bracket,  or  table  specified  by  the 
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution 
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus 
has been damaged in any way, such as when the 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.

• To  reduce  the  risk  of  electric  shock  or  component  damage,  switch  off  the  power  before 
connecting other components to your Unit.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Unit. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Do 
not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on your Unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

• When moving your Unit from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, 
condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Unit to avoid causing fire, 
electric shock, or component damage.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To 
ensure reliable operation of your Unit and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings 
are not blocked or covered. Do not place your Unit in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper 
ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your Unit enclosure. Do not place any 
objects on the top of your Unit. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. 
Never spill liquids on your Unit.

• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For 
more information, contact your dealer.

•  When  connected  to  a  power  outlet,  power  is  always  flowing  into  your  Unit.  To  totally 
disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is 
intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage 
within  your Unit that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of 
electric shock to persons.

• The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the 
user to the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the 
literature accompanying your Unit.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric 
shock.

• The wall socket should be located near your Unit and be easily accessible

• Keep your Unit away from moisture. Do not expose your Unit to rain or moisture. If water 
penetrates into your Unit, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in 
this case may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not use your Unit if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, 
unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your Unit 
yourself.

• Avoid  using  dropped  or  damaged  appliances.  If  your  Unit  is  dropped  and  the  housing  is 
damaged,  the  internal  components  may  function  abnormally.  Unplug  the  power  cord 
immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your Unit may cause fire or 
electric shock.

• Do not install your Unit in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your Unit in 
environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.

• Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your Unit.

• When unplugging your Unit, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may 
damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your Unit will not be 
used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.

•  Insert  the  remote  control  battery  in  accordance  with  instructions.  Incorrect  polarity  may 
cause the battery to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.

• See the important note and rating located on the bottom of the unit.

• WARNING - This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not place 
any container filled with liquid near the equipment (such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it 
to dripping, splashing, rain, or moisture.

• CAUTION - Danger of explosion or fire if battery is mistreated. Replace only with the same 
or specified type.

• Do not leave the battery exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and 
windows closed. Do not disassemble the battery or dispose of it in fire.

• Disconnect the mains plug to shut off when you experience trouble or the device is not in use. 
The mains plug shall remain readily operable.
