injury and damage to the equipment could result.

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure
hazard-free use of the RFX-1100.

Power requirements

• Connect only to AC power outlets rated 100-120 V or

220-240 V 50/60Hz (depending on the voltage range of
the unit; refer to the back panel). 

• Ground the unit by connecting the ground terminal of the

power plug to a good external ground. Do not ground to
water pipe, gas pipe, telephone wiring, or lightning
arrestor to prevent the risk of electric shock or explosion.

• During lightning or when  not using the unit for an

extended time, disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.

• Do not pinch the power cord, bend it forcedly, or place

heavy objects on the power cord.

Environment 

Avoid using your RFX-1100 in environments where it will
be exposed to:  
• Extreme temperatures 
• Heat sources such as radiators or stoves.
• High humidity or moisture 
• Excessive dust or sand 
• Excessive vibration or shock 
Keep space around the unit for sufficient ventilation.
Do not impede the ventilation openings with objects such as
newspapers or curtains.

Handling 

• Never place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on

the RFX-1100 since this can cause electric shock.

• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

on the RFX-1100 since this can cause fire.

The RFX-1100 is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue
pressure on the keys and other controls. Also take care not to
drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive
pressure. 

Alterations 

Never open the case of the RFX-1100 or attempt to modify
the product in any way since this can result in damage to the
unit. 

Volume 

Do not use the RFX-1100 at a loud volume for a long time
since this can cause hearing impairment.

Connecting cables and input and output jacks 

You should always turn off the power to the RFX-1100 and
all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any
cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection cables
and the power cord before moving the RFX-1100.  

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference For safety considerations, the RFX-1100 has
been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission
of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection
from external interference. However, equipment that is very
susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic
waves should not be placed near the RFX-1100, as the possibility of
interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the RFX-1100 included,
electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can
corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of
damage.

Cleaning 

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the RFX-1100. If necessary, slightly
moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents
(such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the
finish or damage the surface.

Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future
reference.

The FCC regulation warning (for U.S.A.)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.
