with non-specified applications and use after the expiry date.
Above acts may cause leakage of fluid, generation of heat, fire, explosion, destruction, or injury by
heat.
The Power Supply Unit (NBL-327) of this equipment incorporates a battery.
The battery contains dilute sulfuric acid. When the leaked liquid of the battery had a direct contact
with your clothes or skin, wash off with clean water. When the liquid infringes into your eye,
wash with clean water immediately then go to a doctor.
Do not disassemble or remodel this equipment.
Such an action may result in a fire, an electric shock, or fault of the equipment.
Do not use any power supply voltage other than the specified ones.
Such an action may result in a fire, an electric shock, or an equipment fault.
Turn off the power supply switch before connecting or disconnecting the cable to any external
equipment.
Ignoring the caution may result in a fire or an electric shock.
If the power supply cable is damaged, please ask for the replacement to the Sales Department, the
nearest branch company, branch office, sales office, or any agent of Japan Radio Co., Ltd.
The use of damaged cable may result in a fire or an electric shock.

Do not remove, damage, or alter the labels attached to the equipment.
Do not install the equipment, if the location is infringed by water, humid, dusty, or with soot.
Ignoring the caution may result in a fire, an electric shock, or a malfunction.
Hands off the equipment if your hand or glove is wet either with freshwater or seawater.
Ignoring the caution may result in a fire, an electric shock, or a fault.
Be sure to hold the power supply plug when pulling it out from the outlet.
Pulling the electric cable without holding the plug could damage the cable, resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
Do not remove or insert the power supply plug with wet hand.
Ignoring the caution may result in an electric shock.
Although the UTILITY OUTLET looks like the one of AC100V, the input voltage of the
Recording Control Unit directly comes out from it.
i.e.; In case the 220VAC is supplied, the same voltage comes out from UTILITY OUTLET.
Ignoring the caution may result in failures.
If the FAN ABNORMAL LED lights up, either of the two fans of the Power Supply Unit is out of
order and needs to be replaced. Ignoring the caution may result in failures. Contact the Sales
Department, the nearest branch company, branch office, sales office, or any agent of Japan Radio
Co., Ltd. and ask them to replace it.
If the equipment is splashed either with seawater or fresh water, wipe it dry immediately. Ignoring
the caution may result in failures or operational malfunctions.
Do not use organic solvent such as thinner or benzine to clean the surface. These agents damage
the surface coating.
Be sure to remove dirt and dust, if any, from the surface and wipe it with a clean dry cloth.
