ignited suddenly.
I Never use

not be used
for
a
long time
lf the unit is
left for a long
time with
the
power
ON, this

not
only
shorten
its useful operation
life,
but
may
also cause
other
troubles.

Suggestions
for Safety
I Use
a standard
AC
wall outlet
1. Use
fiom
an
AC
power
source
of
high
voltage, such
as
for
an air
conditioner,
is
very dangerous'
There
is the
possibility
that a
fire might
be caused
by
making
such
a connection.
2. A
DC
power
source
cannot
be used.
Be sure
to check
the
power
source
carefully,
especially
on
a
ship
or other
place
where
DC is used.
I Grasp
the
plug
when
disconnecting
the
power
supply
cord
1,
wet hands
are
dangerous.
A dangerous

may
result
if the

the
following:
In direct
sunlight
or
in
other
places

is
high.
ln
places
where
there

humidity.
Such

other
compo-
nent
parts
and
thereby shorten
the unit's
service
