Before using this unit, be sure to read the applicable
items of the operating instructions and these safety sug-
gestions carefully.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference. Take
special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit
itself as well as in the operating instructions.
Safety
1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to
power supply only of the type described in the oper-
ating instructions or as marked on the unit. Use only
the AC adaptor or car adaptor described in the oper-
ating instructions when recharging.
Polarization—lf the unit is equipped with a polar-
ized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are un-
able to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try re-
versing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete out-
let. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug
Care of AC adaptor—Take care that the cord of the
AC adaptor should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Never take hold of the AC
adaptor if your hand is wet, and always grasp the
plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.
Nonuse Periods—When not in use, be sure to dis-
connect the AC adaptor from theAC power outlet.

5. Batteries—If the set is not used for a long period of
time or is used only from an AC power source, re-
