WARNING
Preventing fire and electric shock
RUse only the power source marked on the product. If
you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
RUse only the specified AC adaptor.
RDo not attempt to disassemble or modify this product.
Contact an authorised service centre for repairs.
RNever touch the AC adaptor with wet hands.
RDo not perform any actions (such as fabricating,
twisting, stretching, bundling, forcibly bending,
damaging, altering, exposing to heat sources, or
placing heavy objects on the AC adaptor) that may
damage the AC adaptor. Using the product with a
damaged AC adaptor may cause electric shock,
short circuits, or fire. Contact an authorised service
centre for repairs.
RDo not overload the power outlet above the specified
levels. Overloading by having many connections on
one power outlet may cause heat generation,
resulting in a fire.
RNever put metal objects inside the product. Never
spill any liquid on the product.
If metal objects enter the product or the product
becomes wet, unplug the product from the power
outlet and contact an authorised service centre.
RDo not use a microwave oven or other devices, such
as electromagnetic cookers, to speed up the drying
process of any parts of the product.
RCompletely insert the AC adaptor into the power
outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/
or excessive heat resulting in a fire. Do not use
damaged AC adaptors or power outlets.
RRegularly remove any dust, etc., from the AC adaptor
by unplugging it from the power outlet, then wiping it
with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an
insulation defect from moisture, etc., resulting in a
fire.
RUnplug the product from the power outlet if the
product emits smoke, an abnormal smell or makes
unusual noise, or if the product has been dropped or
physically damaged. These conditions can cause fire
or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped
emitting and contact an authorised service centre.
RHold the main body (not the metal parts) of the AC
adaptor when unplugging it. Unplugging the AC
adaptor while holding its cord or the cord’s plugs may
result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
Preventing accidents
RDo not use the product in health care facilities if any
regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
(radio frequency) energy.
RDo 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.
RConsult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product
operates in the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to
1.90 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 250 mW
(max.).)
CAUTION
Preventing fire and electric shock
RDo not use the product in areas that are exposed to
rain, moisture, steam, or oily smoke, or areas that
have excessive dust.
Preventing accidents, injuries, and property damage
RDo not use the product in unstable areas or areas
prone to strong vibrations. This may cause the
