protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
‒ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
‒ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
‒ Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

4 Important safety precautions
You must read the following precautions in order to use the product safely and prevent accidents.
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions could result in serious harm to the user or even
death.
• Operation using an AC adapter with USB output
Use an AC adapter with USB output that has an output current of at least 2000 mA.
Do not do anything that could exceed the ratings of outlets and other electrical wiring equipment.
Disconnect the AC adapter with USB output from the outlet when lightning occurs and when not
using it for a long time.
• Operation using batteries
Use-commercially available 1.5V AA alkaline batteries.
Carefully read the precautions of the batteries being used.
Be sure to insert the batteries with +/− ends oriented correctly.
Do not use new and old batteries together. Do not use batteries of different types together.
Remove the batteries when they will not be used for a long time.
If a leak occurs, thoroughly wipe the battery compartment and battery terminals to remove the
leaked fluid.
• Do not open the case and disassemble or modify the product.
• Do not drop, strike or apply excessive force to the unit.
• Did not put liquid on or in the unit.
• Do not put foreign objects into the case.
• Do not use at a loud volume. Doing so could generate loud volumes that might lead to hearing
loss.
• When transferring this unit, use the individual packing box and cushioning material that it came
with when purchased new.
• When the unit is powered on, do not wrap it in cloth, plastic or other materials.
• Do not step on or apply pressure to the power cord.
• Do not use in the following environmental conditions. Doing so could cause malfunction.
Locations in direct sunlight, environments that exceed 40ºC, or near stoves and other heat sources
Locations with extremely low or high temperatures
Locations with extremely high humidity or where the product could become wet
Locations with frequent vibrations or much dust or sand
• If the unit becomes broken or malfunctions, immediately turn the power off and stop using it.
Usage Precautions
Failure to follow these precautions could cause injury to the user and physical damage.
• When connecting cables or working with the power of the unit, minimize the input levels of
connected devices or turn them off.
• Cleaning
If the screen or the case become dirty, wipe them gently with a soft cloth.
Do not use chemicals, including alcohol, benzene, thinner or cleansers.
If this does not clean them, wipe them with a slightly damp cloth that has been wrung out well.
Do not turn the power on until the product is completely dry.
