WArNING
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
specified 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.
• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable
locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted
surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling
down and causing personal injury and/or property
damage.
• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally
support the weight of the unit and the mounting
bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the unit
falling down and causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
When the Unit is in Use
• Should the following irregularity be found during
use, immediately disconnect the power supply plug
from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA
dealer. Make no further attempt to operate 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 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
components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
• 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.

When Installing the Unit
• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug
with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric
shock.
• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to
grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord
itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power
supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit's cover.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the
unit and result in fire. Also, periodically clean the
ventilation slots of dust.
• Be sure to follow the instructions below when rack-
mounting the unit. Failure to do so may cause a fire
or personal injury.
· Install the equipment rack on a stable, hard floor.
Fix it with anchor bolts or take other arrangements
to prevent it from falling down.
· When connecting the unit’s power cord to an AC
outlet, use the AC outlet with current capacity
allowable to the unit.
· The supplied rack-mounting screws can be used
for the TOA equipment rack only. Do not use them
for other racks.
When the Unit is in Use
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may
cause it to fall or break which may result in personal
injury and/or property damage. In addition, the
object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or
damage.
• Do not stand or sit on, nor hang down from the unit
as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting in
personal injury and/or property damage.
