Setup precautions

• Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration or impact.
• Do not place on anything that generates heat like a Set Top Box, etc.
• Place in an area where condensation does not occur. Conditions where condensation may occur
• When there is an extreme change in temperature (e.g., when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit).
• When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.

In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until condensation is gone.

• Do not block the cooling fan on the rear of the unit.
• The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapour, etc. gets inside the unit.

When moving the unit

1 Switch the unit to standby mode. (Wait until "BYE" disappears from the display.) 2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. 3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx. 3 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock.
