• Power Supply
  Ensure the source voltage matches the voltage of the power supply before turning ON the apparatus.
  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• External Connection
  The external wiring connected to the output hazardous live terminals requires installation by an instructed person, or the use of ready- made leads or cords.

• Do not Remove any Cover
  There are maybe some areas with high voltages inside, to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove any cover if the power supply is connected.
  The cover should be removed by the qualified personnel only. No user serviceable parts inside.

• Fuse
  To prevent a fire, make sure to use fuses with specified standard (current, voltage, type). Donot use a different fuse or short circuit the fuse holder. Before replacing the fuse, turn OFF the apparatus and disconnected the power source.

• Protective Grounding
  Make sure to connect the protective grounding to prevent any electric shock before turning ON the apparatus. Never cut off the internal or external pro- tective grounding wire or disconnect the wiring of protective grounding terminal.

• Operating Conditions
  This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on this apparatus.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Do not use this apparatus near water. Install in accordance with the manufacture-r’s instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read these instructions.

• Follow all instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Only use attachments/accessories spec- ified by the manufacturer.

• Power Cord and Plug Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replace- ment of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walk- ed on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Cleaning
  When the apparatus needs a cleaning, you can blow off dust from the apparatus with  a blower or clean with rag etc. Don’t use solvents such as benzol, alcohol, or other fluids with very strong volatility and flammability for cleaning the apparatus body. Clean only with dry cloth.

• Servicing
  Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so . Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way , such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
