3.2 Installation

Installation Orientation

WARNING

• To prevent fire, never use the instrument with the rear panel facing down. There

are outlet holes for the cooling fan on the rear panel. Placing the instrument with

the rear panel down can cause a fire when the instrument malfunctions.

• This instrument is designed to be used indoors. Do not install or use it outdoors.
• Install the instrument so that you can immediately remove the power cord if an

abnormal or dangerous condition occurs.

CAUTION

If you block the inlet or outlet holes on the instrument, it will become hot and may

break down.

French

AVERTISSEMENT

• Pour éviter tout incendie, n’utilisez jamais l’instrument lorsque le panneau

arrière est orienté vers le bas. En effet, le panneau arrière comprend des
orifices destinés au ventilateur de refroidissement. S’il est orienté vers le bas, un

incendie risque de survenir en cas de dysfonctionnement de l’instrument.

• L’instrument est prévu pour une utilisation en intérieur. Ne pas l’installer, ni l’utiliser

à l’extérieur.

• Installer l’instrument de manière à pourvoir immédiatement le débrancher du

secteur en cas de fonctionnement anormal ou dangereux.

ATTENTION

Ne pas bloquer les orifices d’aération en haut et en bas de l’instrument pour éviter

la surchauffe et la panne.

• Place the instrument in a horizontal position as shown at the left of the figure below or

inclined position using the stand as shown at the right of the figure below.

• When using the stand, pull it forward until it locks (perpendicular to the bottom surface

of the instrument). If you are installing the instrument on a slippery surface, attach the
rubber feet (two pieces) to the rear feet on the bottom panel.

• If you are not using the stand, return it to the original position while pressing the leg

section of the stand inward.

Install on a flat surface.
