Operating Instructions
Safety precautions
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct 
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and 
excessive vibration. These conditions can damage 
the cabinet and other components, thereby 
shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can 
overload the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source 
carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other 
places where DC is used.
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly 
and not damaged. Poor connection and lead 
damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not 
pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. 
Pulling the AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can 
cause electric shock.
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can 
cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause 
electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, 
immediately disconnect the unit from the power 
supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They 
contain flammable gases which can ignite if 
sprayed into the unit.
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If 
sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke 
appears, or any other problem that is not covered in 
these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains 
lead and contact your dealer or an authorised 
service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit 
can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or 
reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from 
the power source if it is not to be used for a long 
time.
