Getting Started
Do not lean or hang on the products.
 Do not lean or hang on the products, as they 
may fall on you and cause serious injury.
Pay attention to the location.
 Do not install the products on wall surfaces 
such as a pillar, where the corners or the sides 
of the products protrude away from the wall 
surface. If a person or object happens to hit the 
protruded corner or side of the products, it may 
cause injury or property damage.
 Do not expose the products to rain or moisture, 
or spill liquid of any kind on them. It may cause 
a fire or electric shock.
 Never place the products in hot, humid or 
excessively dusty places, or in a place where 
they are subject to mechanical vibrations. 
Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.
 Keep flammable objects or open flames (e.g., 
candles) away from the products.
 Do not install the products over or under an air-
conditioner. If the products are exposed to 
wind from the air conditioner for an extended 
period of time, or get wet by water leakage 
from the air conditioner, this may cause a fire, 
an electric shock, or malfunctions.
Do not allow the cords to be pinched.
 If the AC power cord (mains lead) or 
connecting cords are pinched between the 
products and the wall, floor, or other object, or 
bent or twisted by force, the internal 
conductors may become exposed and cause a 
short circuit or an electrical break. This may 
cause a fire or an electric shock.
 Do not step on the AC power cord (mains lead) 
or connecting cords when you carry the 
products. The cord may be damaged, and this 
may result in a fire or electric shock.
Do not cover the ventilation holes of the 
products.
 If you cover the ventilation holes (with a cloth, 
etc.), heat may build up inside and cause a fire.
Do not stumble over the cords.
 You may trip, or may cause the products to 
topple over and cause injury.
