WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
When Installing the Unit
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment
where it may be splashed by water or other liquids,
as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the
unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is speci-
fied may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the
power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power
cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place
heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the
power cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric
shock.
• Be sure to replace the unit’s terminal cover after
connection completion. Because high voltage is ap-
plied to the speaker terminals, never touch these
terminals to avoid electric shock.
• Be sure to ground to the safety ground (earth) ter-
minal to avoid electric shock. Never ground to a gas
pipe as a catastrophic disaster may result.
• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable lo-
cations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted sur-
face. Doing so may result in the unit falling down,
causing personal injury and/or property damage.
When the Unit is in Use
• Should the following irregularity be found during
use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect
the power supply plug from the AC outlet and contact
your nearest dealer. Make no further attempt to ope-
rate the unit in this condition as this may cause fire
or electric shock.
- If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from
the unit.
- If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
- If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
- If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of
the core, disconnection, etc.)
- If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)
• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor
remove the unit case as there are high voltage com-
ponents inside the unit. Refer all servicing to your
nearest dealer.
• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of li-
quid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they ac-
cidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire or
electric shock.
• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or flammable
materials in the ventilation slots of the unit’s cover,
as this may result in fire or electric shock.
