Precautions for connections

WARNING
  • Use this product with the power supply voltage printed on it. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
  • Be sure to use the supplied power cord. Do not use the supplied power cord for other devices. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
  • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Do not handle this product with wet hands. Failure to observe this may cause electric shocks or malfunctions.
  • Do not touch the power plug or cord if there is a chance of lightning. Failure to observe this may cause electric shocks.
  • When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the AC outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product will not be disconnected from the power source.
  • If not using the product for long periods of time, be sure to pull the power plug from the AC outlet. Failure to observe this may cause a fire or malfunctions.
  • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. Failure to observe this may cause a fire or electric shocks.
CAUTION
  • Do not use an AC outlet where the power plug fits loosely when inserted. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or burns.
  • When disconnecting the power plug, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or a fire.
  • Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC outlet. Using the product when it is not plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on the plug, causing a fire or burns.
