8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,

or other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A

polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding

type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or

the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not

t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete

outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

1 2 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution

when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long

periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when

the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord

or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the

apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not

operate normally, or has been dropped.

Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.•

Do not place any objects lled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.•

Do not install this apparatus in a conned space such as a book case or •

similar unit.

The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with •

its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON position.

The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that you •

can easily grasp the power cord plug at any time.

The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall •

remain readily operable.

If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or installed batteries), •

they should not be exposed to sunshine, re or excessive heat.

CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium batteries: there is danger •

of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type of battery. Replace

only with the same or equivalent type.

Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones with the •

product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from earphones or

headphones can cause hearing loss.

Cautions about Batteries ª

This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a leak, rupture or

other trouble. Always abide by the following precautions when using batteries.

Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could rupture or •

leak, causing re or injury.

When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity indications •

(plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install them correctly in the battery

compartment as indicated. Putting them in backward could make the

batteries rupture or leak, causing re, injury or stains around them.

When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal instructions •

indicated on the batteries and the local disposal laws. When you store or

dispose of batteries, isolate their terminals with insulation tape or something

like that to prevent them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.

Do not use batteries other than those specied. Do not mix and use new •

and old batteries or dierent types of batteries together. The batteries could

rupture or leak, causing re, injury or stains around them.

Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal objects. The •

batteries could short, causing leak, rupture or other trouble.

Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them in re or water. •

Batteries could rupture or leak, causing re, injury or stains around them.

If the battery uid leaks, wipe away any uid on the battery case before •

inserting new batteries. If the battery uid gets in an eye, it could cause loss

of eyesight. If uid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean

water without rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the

uid gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns.

If this should happen, wash it o with clean water and then consult a doctor

immediately.

The unit power should be o when you install and replace batteries. •

Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long time. •

Batteries could rupture or leak, causing re, injury or stains around them.

If the battery uid leaks, wipe away any uid on the battery compartment

before inserting new batteries.
