personal injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which will result in personal injury or
a damage to property including the product.
• Basic Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, burn, electric shock, and personal inju-
ry.
• Use a power cable rated for the voltage in question. Be sure however to use a power cable
conforming to safety standards of your nation when using a product overseas.
• When inserting the plug into the electrical outlet, first turn the power switch OFF and then
insert the plug as far as it will go.
