Safety Precautions (continued)
Place of storage and use
䡵
Avoid storing or using the unit in the following places.
Failure to do so may lead to malfunction or breakdown.
• Extremely hot or cold places beyond the allowable tem-
perature for operation (-5˚C to 40˚C)
• Humid or dry places beyond the allowable humidity
range for operation (30% to 80%)
• Places that generate strong magnetic fields, e.g. trans-
formers or motors
• Places near devices that generate electric waves, e.g.
transceivers or mobile phones
• Dusty or sandy places
• Places exposed to strong vibration
• Places prone to condensation, such as by a window
• Places that generate radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases
Handling the unit
䡵
Do not stack units on top of each other.
Doing so may cause malfunction or failure due to over-
heating or noise, or lead to fire.
䡵
Do not block the ventilation openings.
If the openings are blocked, heat will build up inside the
unit, leading to fire. Do not use the unit in a vertical posi-
tion or when it is placed upside down or face up.
䡵
Do not place any objects on the unit.
Placing a heavy object such as a TV monitor or a large
object that protrudes over the edge of the unit on top of
the unit may cause it to overbalance and topple over or
fall off and cause injury.
䡵
Do not climb on the unit.
Doing so may cause the unit to topple over or be dam-
aged. Particular attention should be paid to small chil-
dren.
䡵
Do not place anything containing water on the unit (such
as a vase, plant pot, glass, cosmetics or chemicals).
If water gets inside the unit, it may lead to fire or electric
shock.
䡵
Do not insert foreign objects into the unit.
If any metal object or flammable item gets into the unit
through the ventilation openings, etc., it may lead to fire
or electric shock.
Maintaining the unit
䡵
Wipe the unit with a soft cloth.
Do not use thinner or benzene as this may cause the
surface to dissolve or tarnish. For stubborn stains, wipe
first with a water-diluted neutral detergent and then wipe
dry.
Moving the unit
䡵
Disconnect the cords before moving the unit.
Before moving the unit, turn off the power and be sure to
unplug the power cord from the electric outlet.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the cord or lead
to fire or electric shock.
䡵
Wrap the unit in protective packing to prevent physical
shocks.
䡵
Handle the unit with care. Do not subject it to vibration or
physical shocks.
Saving power
䡵
For safety reasons and to save energy, unplug the power
cord when the unit is not in use for long periods.
Power cord
䡵
Do not use the power cord supplied with the unit on other
devices.
䡵
Do not place heavy items on the power cord or trap the
cord under the unit.
Doing so may result in damage to the cord or lead to fire
