Do not modify this product, as a fire, electrical shock, or breakdown could 
result. If the product employs a laser, the laser beam source could cause 
blindness.
Do not attempt to remove the covers and panels which have been fixed to 
the product. Some products have a high-voltage part or a laser beam 
source inside that could cause an electrical shock or blindness.
Only use the power cord supplied in the package. Failure to use this cord 
could result in a fire or electrical shock.
Use only the specified power source voltage. Failure to do that could result

Do not use a multiple outlet adapter to connect any other appliances or 
machines. Use of a power outlet for more than the marked current value 
could result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not unplug and plug in the power cord with a wet hand, as an electrical 
shock could result.
Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure to do this 
could result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not scratch, abrade, place a heavy object on, heat, twist, bend, pull on, 
or damage the power cord. Use of a damaged power cord (exposed core 
wire, broken wire, etc.) could result in a fire or breakdown.
Should any of these conditions be found, immediately turn OFF the power 
switch, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then call your 
authorized service representative.
In principle, do not use an extension cord. Use of an extension cord could 
cause a fire or electrical shock. Contact your authorized service 
representative if an extension cord is required.

the product, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord 
from the power outlet, and then call your authorized service representative.
If this product becomes inordinately hot or emits smoke, or unusual odor or 
noise, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord from 
the power outlet, and then call your authorized service representative. If 
you keep on using it as is, a fire or electrical shock could result.
If this product has been dropped or its cover damaged, immediately turn 
OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and 
then call your authorized service representative. If you keep on using it as 
is, a fire or electrical shock could result.
