SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Avoid extreme moisture and dust.
The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not
block or cover these holes. Especially avoid
covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth
or paper.
If you cause a static discharge when touching the
unit, and the unit fails to function, simply unplug the
unit from the wall outlet, wait a few minutes and
plug it back in. The unit should return to normal
operation.
Avoid extreme heat.
Avoid extreme cold.
Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may
cause electromagnetic interference (e.g. speakers,
etc). Doing so may cause erratic operation of the unit
including picture and/or sound distortion or noise.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTIONS ON THIS UNIT FOR AT LEAST THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN
THE AIR CONDENSES ON IT. LET THE UNIT STAND WITH POWER ON (SEE BELOW).
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of
the glass. This is called moisture condensation.
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;
• When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place.
• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, press the POWER button to turn on
and leave the unit at room temperature until moisture condensation disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take about three hours.
