Installation
When purchasing AC adaptor
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in
a
residential installation.
To use AC adaptor, be absolutely sure to purchase the AC adap-
tor designed especially for this unit.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to ra-
dio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or tele-
vision reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and re-
ceiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

ing conditions…
• immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• in a steamy or very humid room.
• when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment
to a warm one. If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not
operate properly. To correct this problem wait about one
hour for the moisture to evaporate.
