Suggestions

for

safety

Avoid

placing

the

unit

in

areas

of:

@

direct

sunlight

®

high

temperature

©

high

humidity

©

excessive

vibration

®

uneven

surfaces

(Place

the

unit

on

a

flat

level

surface.)

Such

conditions

might

damage

the

cabinet

and/or

other

component

parts

and

thereby

shorten

the

unit's

service

life.

®

It

is

very

dangerous

to

use

an

AC

power

source

of

high

voltage

such

as

for

an

air

conditioner.

A

fire

might

be

caused

by

such

a

connection.

©

A

DC

power

source

can

not

be

used.

Be

sure

to

check

the

power

source

carefully,

especially

if

on

a

ship

or

other

place

where

DC

is

used.

©

Avoid

cuts,

scratches

or

poor

connection

of

the

AC

power

cord,

as

this

may

result

in

fire

or

electric

shock.

Excessive

bending,

pulling

or

slicing

of

the

cord

should

also

be

avoided.

Do

not

pull

on

the

cord

when

you

are

disconnecting

the

power,

as

this

could

cause

an

electric

shock.

Grasp

the

plug

firmly

when

you

disconnect

the

power

supply.

©

Never

touch

the

plug

with

wet

hands

or

a

serious

electric

shock

could

result.

RQTSO19

e@Ensure

that

no

foreign

objects,

such

as

needles,

coins,

screwdrivers

etc.,

accidentally

fall

into

the

unit.

Otherwise,

a

serious

electric

shock

or

malfunction

could

occur.

®

Be

extremely

careful

about

spilling

water

or

liquid

on/into

the

unit,

as

a

fire

or

electric

shock

could

occur.

(Disconnect

the

power

plug

and

contact

your

dealer

immediately

if

this

occurs.)

®

Avoid

spraying

insecticides

onto

the

unit

as

they

contain

flammable

gases

which

can

be

ignited.

@

Insecticides,

alcohol,

paint

thinner

and

similar

chemicals

should

never

be

used

to

clean

the

unit

as

they

can

cause

flaking

or

cloudiness

to

the

cabinet

finish.

®

Never

attempt

to

repair,

disassemble

or

reconstruct

the

unit

if

there

seems

to

be

a

problem.

A

serious

electric

shock

could

result

if

you

ignore

this

precautionary

measure.
