Precautions
Before
using
this
unit
please
read
these
operating
instructions
carefully.
Take
special
care
to
follow
the
warnings
indicated
on
the
unit
itself
as
well
as
the
safety
suggestions
listed
below.
Afterwards
keep
them
handy
for
future
reference.
Safety
1.
Power
Source—
The
unit
should
be
connected
to
power
supply
only
of
the
type
described
in
the
operating
instructions
or
as
marked
on
the
unit.
2.
Polarization
—If
the
unit
is
equipped
with
a
polarized
AC
power
plug
(a
plug
having
one
blade
wider
than
the
other),
that
plug
will
fit
into
the
AC
outlet
only
one
way.
This
is
a
safety
feature.
If
you
are
unable
to
insert
the
plug
fully
into
the
outlet,
try
reversing
the
plug.
If
the
plug
should
still
fail
to
fit,
contact
your
electrician
to
replace
your
obsolete
outlet.
Do
not
defeat
the
safety
purpose
of
the
polarized
plug.
3.
Power
Cord
Protection
—AC
power
supply
cords
should
be
routed
so
that
they
are
not
likely
to
be
walked
on
or
pinched
by
items
placed
upon
or
against
them.
Never
take
hold
of
the
plug
or
cord
if
your
hand
is
wet,
and
always
grasp
the
plug
body
when
connecting
or
disconnecting
it.
4.
Nonuse
Periods
—When
the
unit
is
not
used,
turn
the
power

protection
against
voltage
surges
and
built-up
static
charges.
