electrical shock, fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal 
injury.

fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

– Containers with liquid in them, as they may fall, 

spilling the liquid and causing an electrical shock to 
the user and/or damage to this unit.

Do not cover this unit with a newspaper, tablecloth, 
curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the 
temperature inside this unit rises, it may cause fire, 
damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

This unit employs a laser. Due to possible eye injury, only a 
qualified service person should remove the cover or attempt 
to service this device.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as 
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit 
itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In 
this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small 
quantity of power.

To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to
