1) This product is capable of producing extremely high volumes. In

some cases, this could damage your hearing or cause other bodily impairment. You must be careful of the volume when using this product.

2) Use this product with a power supply of the voltage that is printed

3) Place this product near the main power outlet, and ensure that the

main power plug can be easily disconnected from the main power outlet if any problem should occur.

4) This device contains a fuse for protection. The fuse may be broken

due to external physical shock or because it has reached the end of its lifetime, but since a broken fuse may indicate that a serious internal malfunction has occurred, please contact your dealer be- fore replacing the fuse.

5) When you are not using it, leave the power turned off. If you will not

be using this product for an extended period, leave the power cable disconnected.

outlet while the device is operating. Doing so may cause malfunc- tions.

7) Do not stand on this device or place heavy objects on it. Doing so

may cause breakage or malfunctions. Cautions regarding location

8) Secure the provided power plug to mains socket-outlets that has a

protective ground terminal.

9) Do not place this device in locations where particularly low tem-

peratures might occur, such as walk-in coolers. The device may fail to operate correctly.

10) Do not place this device in locations subject to strong magnetic

fields, such as near a television or radio, or near any other device that emits electromagnetic radiation. This device may fail to oper- ate correctly under such conditions.

11) Do not place the device in locations subject to sudden temperature

changes If this device is in a cold room whose temperature is sud- denly raised, condensation may form inside the device, causing it to fail to operate correctly.

12) Do not place the device in locations of excessive dust or vibration.

Such conditions may cause damage or malfunction.
