Safety Precautions - Panasonic SC-VK680 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety precautions

Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other
components, thereby shortening the unit's service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid
distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the
lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the
AC mains lead can cause electric shock. Do not handle the plug
with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the
unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is
used.

Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the
unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any
other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs,
disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an
authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit
can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed
by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power
source if it is not to be used for a long time.
