This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must be followed in order to operate the unit safely.

Power and Ground Connection

The power source voltage of this unit is listed on the nameplate. Only plug the unit into an AC outlet with the proper voltage. If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the unit or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch.

Do not connect the unit to the AC outlet,

AC extension cords, etc., in a way that exceeds the power rating of, or does not comply with the instructions provided with, the AC outlet, AC extension cords, etc.

To ensure safe operation the power cord supplied must be inserted into a standard three-prong AC outlet which is effectively grounded through the normal wiring.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

Plug the power cord firmly into an AC outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe the power cord and plug. Damage to the power cord or plug can cause fire or electric shock.

For Your Safety

To prevent fires, electric shock, injury, or damage to the unit, be sure to follow these guidelines when performing any wiring or cabling: a.

Before performing any wiring or cabling, unplug the unit’s power cord from the outlet. After completing all wiring and cabling, plug the power cord back into the outlet.

b.

Do not place any objects on top of the cables connected to the unit.

c.

When running cables along the floor, use protectors to prevent the cables from being stepped on.

d.

Do not run any cables under carpeting.

Do not attempt to repair the power cord, or plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, contact an authorized service representative for a replacement.

Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat, and eventually cause fire if left unattended over an extended period of time.

Stop operation immediately if the unit emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal smell or unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock.

Immediately turn the unit off, and unplug the power cord, and contact your dealer for service.

Do not connect or disconnect the AC plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

When disconnecting the unit, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or electric shock.

During thunderstorms, do not touch the unit and plug. It may cause an electric shock.

Operating Safeguards

Do not disassemble this unit. Only qualified personnel should service this unit. Disassembling the unit may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks.

Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock.

Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.

Alteration or modification can cause fire or electric shock.

If metal fragments or water gets into the unit, turn the unit off and unplug the unit immediately. Contact your dealer for service. Operating the contaminated unit can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not insert objects of any kind into this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Do not use a unit in the vicinity of a gas leak to report the leak.

Do not place the remote control in microwave ovens or on induction cookware.

Clean the AC plug periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and other debris.

Do not use the supplied power cord with any other device. It may cause fire or electric shock.

Never open or remove unit covers that are screwed with screws. A high-voltage component can cause electric shock.

10 Operating Manual Document Version 2011-02

For Your Safety

Unplug the unit from the AC outlet and have it serviced by qualified service personnel in the following cases: a.

If the unit does not operate according to the operating instructions. Adjust only the controls that are explained in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may require service by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.

b.

If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

c.

If unit performance deteriorates.

If damage to the unit exposes any internal parts, disconnect the power cord immediately and return the unit to your dealer.

Installation

Do not install the unit in any other way than described in relevant manuals.

Battery

Do not touch the unit, AC adaptor, AC adaptor cord, or AC cord during a lightning storm.

The AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may cause it to become disconnected.

Only connect the unit to the type of electric power specified on the label affixed to the unit. Confirm the type of electric power supplied to the installation site if necessary.

The battery contains diluted sulfuric acid, a very toxic substance. If the battery leaks and the liquid inside spills on the skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with plenty of clean water. If the liquid splashes into eyes, immediately flush the eyes with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor.

Sulfuric acid in the eyes may cause loss of eyesight and acid on the skin will cause burns.

Do not charge, short, heat, break or throw in a fire, as it may result in the battery leaking, generating heat, or bursting.

Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

Do not carry or store the batteries together with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects.

Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Batteries that seem worn down or damaged should not be used. Using worn down or damaged batteries may result in leaking.

Do not use rechargeable batteries.

Take the depleted batteries out of the remote control. Otherwise, the batteries may leak.

Power

Installation

The unit should be kept free of dust, moisture, high temperature (more than

40 °C [104 °F]) and vibration, and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Place this unit on a flat surface. Serious damage and/or injury may result if the unit falls.

Allow 10 cm (4 in) clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.

Do not place the unit in an area close to fire. Doing so may cause fire.

Battery

When the unit is not used over an extended period of time, take the batteries out of the remote control.

Otherwise, the batteries may leak. Do not use the leaked batteries.

When the unit is not used over an extended period of time, switch it off and unplug it. If an unused unit is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation may cause electric shock, current leakage, or fire.

The unit should be used only with the power cord enclosed with the unit.

Be sure to use the specified type of batteries only.

Ensure that batteries are installed with correct polarity. Incorrectly installed batteries can burst or leak, resulting in spillage or injuries.

This product contains batteries. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Improper use or replacement may cause overheating, rupture or explosion resulting in injury or fire. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions of your local solid waste officials and local regulations.

When replace the batteries for the remote control, use AA/R6 type dry cell.

Do not install the battery backwards so that the polarity is reversed.
