PRECAUTIONS
English
Electric Power
1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating instructions, and as marked on
the unit.
2 Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are
equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be
inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or
impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn
the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert
into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to
service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety
feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power
outlet.
3 AC power cord
-When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the
AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
-Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this
could result in fire or shock.
-Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being
severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.
-Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not
use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be
completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the
plug.
5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power plug if the unit will not be used for several months or
more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of
current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is
turned off.
