Dispose of used battery promptly.
Keep away from children.
Do not disassemble and do not dispose

.
When the equipment is installed in a
cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it
has sufficient space on all sides to allow
for ventilation (10 cm or more on both
sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a
newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not
be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
When discarding batteries,
environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws
governing the disposal of these batteries
must be followed strictly.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
Do not point the lens directly into the
sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well
as lead to the malfunctioning of internal
circuitry. There is also a risk of fire or
electric shock.
CAUTION!
The following notes concern possible
physical damage to this unit and to the
user.
Carrying or holding this unit by the LCD

unlevel surfaces. It could tip over,
causing serious damage to the unit.
CAUTION!
Connecting cables (Audio/Video, etc.) to
this unit and leaving it on top of the TV is
not recommended, as tripping on the
cables will cause the unit to fall, resulting

Introduction

.
CAUTIONS:
 To prevent shock, do not open the
cabinet. No user serviceable parts
inside.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
When you are not using the AC
adapter for a long period of time, it is
recommended that you disconnect the
power cord from AC outlet.
CAUTION:
Where there are strong electromagnetic
waves or magnetism, for example near a
radio or TV transmitter, transformer,
motor, etc., the picture and the sound
may be disturbed. In such case, please
keep the apparatus away from the
sources of the disturbance.
CAUTION:
To avoid electric
shock or damage to
the unit, first firmly
insert the small end
of the power cord into the AC Adapter
until it is no longer wobbly, and then plug
the larger end of the power cord in to an
AC outlet.

.
Battery Pack (sold separately)
The battery pack is a lithium-ion battery.
Before using the battery pack, be sure to
read the following cautions:
To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the
terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects
when not in use.
When transporting, carry the battery in
a plastic bag.
... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to
temperatures exceeding 60°C, as this
may cause the battery to overheat,
explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
Terminals
To prevent damage and prolong
service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range
of 10°C to 30°C. Cooler temperatures
require longer charging time, or in
some cases stop charging at all.
Warmer temperatures prevent
complete charging, or in some cases
stop charging at all.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended
exposure to high temperatures will
increase natural discharge and
shorten service life.
... keep a 30% battery level if the
battery pack is not to be used for a
long period of time.
... remove from charger or powered unit
when not in use, as some machines
use current even when switched off.
... do not drop or subject to strong
impact.
