place subject to direct sunlight, excessive  
dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.  
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent  
internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit  
on a thick pile surface (rug, a blanket, etc.),  
or near materials that might block the  
ventilation holes (such as a curtain, etc.).  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by  
qualified personnel before operating it any  
further.  
To clean the casing, use a soft cloth  
dampened with a mild detergent solution.

polarized or grounding-type plug. A  
polarized plug has two blades with one

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 replacement of the obsolete  
outlet.

on or pinched particularly at plugs,  
convenience receptacles, and the point  
where they exit from the apparatus.  
11)Only use attachments/accessories specified  
by the manufacturer.  
12)Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table specified by the  
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.  
When a cart is used, use caution when  
moving the cart/apparatus combination to  
avoid injury from tip-over.  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,  
do not expose this apparatus to rain or  
moisture.  
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the  
ventilation of the apparatus with newspapers,  
tablecloths, curtains, etc. And do not place  
lighted candles on the apparatus.  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do  
not expose this apparatus to dripping or  
splashing, and do not place objects filled with  
liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.  
If a power interruption occurs while the battery  
is weak, the current time and alarm will be  
erased.
