asdoingsomayresultinreorelectricshock.
• Since the unit is designed for indoor use, do not
install it outdoors. If installed outdoors, the aging of
parts causes the unit to fall off, resulting in personal
injury. Also, when it gets wet with rain, there is a
danger of electric shock.
• (Applicable to VX-3004F, VX-3008F, VX-3016F,
VX-015DA, VX-030DA, VX-050DA, RM-200SF,
