Placement
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.
Voltage
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.
AC mains lead protection
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.
Foreign matter
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.
Service
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 authorized 
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.
