Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of fire, burns, injury, electrical shocks,
rupture, overheating, abnormal odours or smoke.
• Always use the specified voltage and the AC Adapter (AD-24ES/AD-5000ES: For Australia, New
Zealand only) for your machine to prevent any damage or failure.
• Do not touch your machine during a thunderstorm.
• Do not use your machine or AC Adapter in places of high humidity such as bathrooms.
• Do not overload the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on, or damage your machine, power cord or plug.
Do not forcibly bend or pull the power cord. Always hold the AC Adapter when disconnecting
from the electrical socket.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted in the electrical socket. Do not use an outlet that is loose.
• Do not allow your machine, AC Adapter, power plug, or batteries to get wet, for example, by
handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages on them.
• Do not disassemble or modify your machine, AC Adapter, or batteries.
• Do not allow a metal object to touch the plus and minus ends of a battery.
• Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, to change the batteries.
• Do not throw the batteries into fire or expose to heat.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter, remove batteries immediately and stop using your machine if you notice
abnormal odour, heat, discolouration, deformation or anything unusual while using or storing it.
• Do not use a damaged or leaking battery as the fluid may get on your hands.
• Do not use a deformed or leaking battery or one whose label is damaged. There is a possibility
of damaging your machine.
• Since loss of eyesight may result if leaked fluid from batteries gets into your eyes, immediately
rinse your eyes with a large amount of clean water, and then seek medical attention.
CAUTION
Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury, liquid leakage, burns, or heat.

batteries or combinations of different types, different charging levels, different manufacturers, or
different models. Do not insert a battery with its plus and minus ends reversed.
