•
If this unit is placed near a power amplifier or other device
with a large transformer, it could cause a hum. If this occurs,
increase the distance between this unit and the other
device.
•
This unit could cause color irregularities on a TV screen or
noise from a radio if used nearby. If this occurs, use this unit
farther away.
•
This unit might produce noise if a mobile phone or other
wireless device is used nearby to make calls or send or
receive signals. If this occurs, increase the distance between
this unit and those devices or turn them off.
•
To enable good heat dissipation, do not place anything on
top of this unit.
•
Do not place this unit on top of a power amplifier or other
device that generates heat.

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal
mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent
this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two hours at the
new room temperature before using it.

Cleaning the unit

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not wipe with
chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, alcohol or other chemical
agents. Doing so could damage the surface or cause discolor-
ation.
