• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the appliance body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent
and wipe gently.
• Do not operate the appliance beyond its specified
temperature, humidity, or power source ratings.
Use the appliance at temperatures within +5 °C to
+45 °C {41 °F to 113 °F} and humidity below 90 %.
The input power source for NTSC model is 120 V AC
60 Hz, for PAL model is 220 V - 240 V AC 50 Hz.• We recommend that you make a note of your set-
tings and save them. 
This will help you when a system configuration change
is required or when an unexpected trouble or failure
occurs.
• Distributing, copying, disassembling, reverse com-
piling, reverse engineering, and also exporting in
violation of export laws of the software provided
