PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.

WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply
· Do not place the USB cable near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
· Do not touch the product or the power plug during an electrical storm.
· Use only the correct voltage specified for the product. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the product.
· Use the specified USB AC adaptor (page 20).
· Use only the supplied USB cable/plug. Do not use the USB cable/plug for other products.
· Check the power plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
· Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC outlet. Using the product when it is not plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on the plug, possibly resulting in fire or skin burns.
· When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, as long as the USB cable is not unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product will not be disconnected from the power source.
· Do not connect the product to an electrical outlet using a multi-plug outlet extender. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
· When disconnecting the power plug, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or a fire.

· If not using the product for long periods of time, be sure to pull the power plug from the AC outlet.
Do not disassemble
· This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way.

A liquid such as water getting into the product may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
· Use the USB AC adaptor indoors only. Do not use in any wet environments.
· Never insert or remove a power plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
· Do not place any burning items or open flames near the product, since they may cause a fire.
Wireless unit
