voltage of the system is identical with that of your

local power supply.

Where purchased

Operating voltage

All countries/regions 100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz

• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor.
On operation

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,

have the system checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not

leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards,

or floppy disks with magnetic coding in front of the

system for an extended period of time.

On placement

• Do not set the system in an inclined position.

• Do not leave the system in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.

On cleaning

Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the

If the TV picture or monitor display is

magnetically distorted

Although this system is magnetically shielded, there

may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal

computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In

such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal

computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn

it on again. For the personal computer set, take the

appropriate measures such as data storage before turning

it off.

When there seems to be no improvement, locate the

system further away from the TV set/personal computer

set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which

magnets are attached or used near the TV set/personal

computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc.

These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due
