CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the AC adaptor to dripping or splashing, and
do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the AC adaptor.
Do not expose the appliance to naked flame sources (for example, lighted candles).
Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
As the main plug is used to disconnect the unit from the mains, connect the unit to an easily accessible
AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the unit, disconnect the main plug from the AC outlet
immediately.
The AC adaptor is not disconnected from the mains as long as it is connected to the AC outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
Do not expose the batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire
or the like for a long time. Do not subject the batteries to extreme low temperature conditions that may
result in overheating and thermal runaway. Do not dismantle, open or shred secondary cells or batteries.
In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice. Do not
use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment. Secondary cells and
batteries need to be charged before use. Always use the correct charger and refer to the manufacturer's
instructions or equipment manual for proper charging instructions. After extended periods of storage, it
may be necessary to charge and discharge the cells or batteries several times to obtain maximum
performance. Dispose of properly.

* The supplied accessories and the connectors of this unit (DC IN/USB/AUDIO IN/MIC/GUITAR) are
neither water resistant nor dustproof. To reduce the risk of fires or electric shocks, do not expose the
unit to water or droplets while using any connectors (DC IN/USB/AUDIO IN/MIC/GUITAR). Do not
place a vase or any other liquid-filled container on the unit.
The water resistant and dustproof performance of the unit is based on our measurements under the
conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion or dust intrusion
caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.
To avoid deterioration of water resistant and dustproof
performance
Check the following and use the unit correctly.
• This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Do not put the unit in the water to
avoid a malfunction.
• Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the
unit directly. Also never use the unit in a place subject to high temperatures, such as in a sauna or
near a heat source.
• Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant
and dustproof performance. When using the unit, make sure that the cap is closed completely. When
closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not closed completely the
water resistant and dustproof performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the unit
as a result of water or dust particles entering the unit.
