sunlight in an enclosed
vehicle, near a heating
duct, on top of heat-
generating equipment);
or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on
wet floors); or are

• Use only the specified AC
adaptor (PSA series), and
make sure the line voltage at
the installation matches the
input voltage specified on the AC
adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may
use a different polarity, or be designed
for a different voltage, so their use
could result in damage, malfunction, or
electric shock.
......................................................................................
009
• Do not excessively twist or
bend the power cord, nor
place heavy objects on it.
Doing so can damage the
cord, producing severed elements and
short circuits. Damaged cords are fire
and shock hazards!

combination with an
amplifier and headphones or
speakers, may be capable of
producing sound levels that could
cause permanent hearing loss. Do not
operate for a long period of time at a
high volume level, or at a level that is
uncomfortable. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you
should immediately stop using the unit,
and consult an audiologist.

power-supply cord to share
an outlet with an unrea-
sonable number of other
devices. Be especially careful when
using extension cords—the total power
used by all devices you have connected
to the extension cord's outlet must
never exceed the power rating (watts/
amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation
on the cord to heat up and eventually
melt through.

and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet whenever
the unit is to remain unused for an
extended period of time. Any accumu-
lation of dust between the power plug
and the power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to fire.

• If used improperly, batteries
may explode or leak and
cause damage or injury. In
the interest of safety, please
read and observe the
following precautions (p. 2).
1
• Carefully follow the
installation instructions
for batteries, and make
sure you observe the
correct polarity.
2
• Avoid using new batteries together
with used ones. In addition, avoid
mixing different types of batteries.
3
• Remove the batteries whenever the
unit is to remain unused for an
extended period of time.
5
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft
piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe
all remnants of the discharge from
the battery compartment. Then
install new batteries. To avoid
inflammation of the skin, make sure
that none of the battery discharge
gets onto your hands or skin.
Exercise the utmost caution so that
none of the discharge gets near your
eyes. Immediately rinse the affected
area with running water if any of the
discharge has entered the eyes.
6
• Never keep batteries together with
metallic objects such as ballpoint
pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
......................................................................................
112
• Used batteries must be
disposed of in compliance
with whatever regulations for
their safe disposal that may
be observed in the region in which you
live.

• Should you remove a USB
connector cap, keep them in
a safe place out of children's
reach, so there is no chance
of them being swallowed accidentally.
