PORTABLE CART WARNING

S3126A Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm from the each side. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. (This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.) This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into the unit through the cabinet slots because they may contact dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts and cause fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.Electric Power Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. To operate unit on battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to inserf the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 1 ENGLISHPower-cod Protection. The unit is provided with an attachment plug with overload protection. This IS a safety feature. See operating instructions for replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the original plug. CXmrloacting - Do not alk~w anything to rest on the power cord. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not place the unit in an area where people will walk on the cord. Qildoor Antenna Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits because contact with them may be fatal. outdoor Antenna Grounding - [f an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS1/ NFPA No.70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast anl~ supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, locatlon of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See the figure. Antenna Grounding Acc xdlng to the National Electrical Cord

Lightning For added protection during a lightning storm, or when left uni~ttended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and powerlme surges.~&ntenancx3Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Damaae Reauirirwt Service Unplug the unit from the wail outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

1) When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

2) If liquid has been spilled into the unit.

3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

4) If the unit does not operate normally when following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage to the unit and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.

5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been

6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in

performance - this indicates a need for service. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to high voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. Safety Check - After completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform a safety check to ensure that the unit is in proper operating condition. Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NIEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground should be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

ENGLISH 6Preparing the remote control To prevent damage from leakage or explosion, follow the descriptions below. . Insert two supplied R03 (size AAA) batteries with the 0 and O marks correctly as illustrated. . Do not mix old batteries with new ones or different types of batteries. . Do not throw the batteries into a fire, apply heat to them or take them apart. . Do not carry the batteries with keys or other metallic objects. Remove the batteries when they have no more power, or when you do not use the remote control for a long period of time. Point the remote control toward the REMOTE SENSOR.

● The remote control may not operate when there is any obstruction between the remote control and the REMOTE SENSOR. ● Strong ambient light sources such as a fluorescent lamp or direct sunlight may cause unreliable operation. ● Using a TV with the same type of infrared remote control facing the same direction may cause incorrect operation. . The maximum distance for effective control between the remote control and the REMOTE SENSOR is 7 meters. ● Although you can use the remote control within an angle of up to 30 degrees in any direction from directly in front of the REMOTE SENSOR, we recommend a narrower angle for stable operation. The remote control can control the CATV converters for the CATV. To control CATV converters, set the manufacturer’s code number shown in the table on the next page.
