WARNING

Power connection

R Use only the power source marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

R Use only the specified AC adaptor.

R Do not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock. R Completely insert the AC adaptor into the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/

or excessive heat resulting in a fire.

R Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the AC adaptor by pulling it from the power outlet, then wiping with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a fire.

R If the unit emits smoke or an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise, immediately unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet and remove the battery pack. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped and contact an authorized service center.

R Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

Installation

R Do not use the unit in areas that are exposed to rain, moisture, steam, or oily smoke, or areas that have excessive dust. This may cause fire or electric shock.

R Do not install or use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an accident.

R Do not perform any actions (such as damaging, altering, exposing to heat sources, or placing heavy objects on the AC adaptor) that may damage the AC adaptor. Using the unit with a damaged AC adaptor may cause electric shock, short circuits, or fire. Contact an authorized service center for repairs.

Operating safeguards

R To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this unit. Refer servicing to an authorized service center when service is required. Opening covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

R Do not touch the Charger or the AC adaptor during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

R Never put metal objects inside the unit. This may cause fire or electric shock. If metal objects enter the unit, immediately unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service center.

R Never spill any liquids on the unit or get the unit wet in any way. This may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. If the unit becomes wet, immediately unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service center.

R Never spill any liquids on the AC adaptor, or get the AC adaptor wet in any way. This may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. If the AC adaptor becomes wet, immediately unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service center.
