Safety Precautions - Panasonic SC-PT170 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.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
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
places where DC is used.
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.
