WARNING

If this device emits smoke or an odd smell, or the main

unit is too hot to touch, turn the power off immediately

then remove the power cable plug from the AC outlet.

If the battery is connected, remove it after checking for

safety.

Using the computer in such conditions may cause a fire, burn, and/or

electric shock.

Do not touch the computer when it thunders.

Do not touch the computer, connected cables, and

peripheral devices, or install/remove such devices when

a thunderstorm is approaching.

Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock due to

thunderbolt.

Do not disassemble or modify the product.

Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock, fumes,

and/or fire.

Do not place the product in a fire, apply excess heat, or

short-circuit the terminal.

Failure to follow this warning may cause a heating, fire, and/or

explosion.

Place all bags and packing materials safely out of the

reach of small children, especially infants and toddlers.

These items may pose a choking or suffocation hazard.

Do not intentionally remove or damage any of the

warning labels.

Warning on installation environment

WARNING





Observe the following precautions and use the product in

a place where environmental requirements are satisfied.

Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric

shock, fumes, and/or fire.

Do not install or use the product in a location with medical vapor emitting

in the air or medicals being contact with the product.

Do not use the product into which any liquid such as water, metals, and

other foreign substances are entered.

Always use or store each device under the installation environment

conditions. Nevertheless, do not use or store the device in an environment

where the temperature may fluctuate severely, such as where condensation

may result, even if such an environment is within the installation

environment conditions.

Warning on connection of power supply

WARNING

The AC adapter and AC cord are designed on the

assumption that it is connected to this product. The AC

adapter may be damaged if it is connected to a device

other than this product.

Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that has an

illegal number of connections.

The electric current exceeding the rated flow overheats the outlet, which

may cause a fire.

The AC cord shipped with this product can be

exclusively used for 120 VAC.

Do not connect this AC cord to an outlet of which rating exceeds 125

VAC. Failure to follow this instruction may cause a fire and/or electric

shock.

Insert the power plug into the outlet as far as it goes.

A halfway inserted power plug may cause a fire and/or an electric shock.

Do not pull the AC cord forcibly or put any heavy object

on it.

Breaking of wire may cause a fire and/or electric shock.

Do not touch with a wet hand

Touching the main unit or AC adapter with a wet hand while the power

cable is connected to a power outlet poses an electric shock hazard.

Do not use this product if dusts are accumulated on the

AC power cord plug.

With dust accumulated power plug, the electrical discharge (tracking)

occurs between plug pins and it may cause a fire.

Always hold the plugs of the AC cord in its removal. Do

not pull the cord.

Breaking of wire may cause a fire.

Do not use the AC cord with the plug blades being

unstable.

Poor connection may cause a fire.

Never use a broken power cable.

If the power cable becomes damaged, do not mend it with adhesive tape

or the like. The mended part may overheat, posing a fire or electric shock

hazard.

Use the specified AC adapter and power cable. Never

disassemble or modify the AC adapter.

Doing so may cause an electric shock, smoke or fire hazard.

Unplug the AC power cable when not using d

evice for an

extended period.

Degraded insulation may cause a short-circuit fire.

The drip-proof and dust-proof performance conforming

to IP54 are not applied to the AC adapter and AC cord.

Follow instructions described below when handling them to prevent

fume, fire, and/or electric shock to occur.

Do not drop or give impact to the battery.

Do not use the power cord with bent or bundled state.

Do not forcedly bend the root of the power cord.

Do not put any heavy object on the battery.

Do not wrap the battery with cloth or the like.

Do not use the battery in a place where the liquid such as water splashes.

Do not use any damaged battery.

Do not put the battery in a place near the thermal appliance.

Do not put the battery in a place where temperature changes drastically

(e.g., near the exhaust port of air conditioner and vicinity of entrance).

Do not use the battery in an area where inflammable gas and/or

combustible substance are placed.

Do not put the battery in a place where lamp black and/or steam is generated (e.g.,

galley and near the humidifier).

Do not use the battery in a place where salinity (e.g., sea breeze) or the corrosive gas

(e.g., hot spring) is generated.

Warning on car adapter connection

WARNING



Do not use the device while driving.

Doing so may cause a traffic accident.



The fuse should only be replaced with one of the

specified value.

Be sure to replace the fuse with one having the specified current capacity

(amperage). Use of a fuse having a current capacity exceeding the

specified value poses a fire hazard.



Do not use the car adapter in vehicles with an electrical

system other than 12 VDC or 24 VDC.

Otherwise a fire hazard may result. (If you are unsure, ask your

automobile dealer.)



Be sure to use the car adapter only for the specified

connection devices.

Use with other than the specified devices may pose an electrical shock or

fire hazard.



Never disassemble the car adapter.

Disassembling may pose a fire or electric shock hazard.



Do not place any object onto the connection cable or

wrap the cable with a cloth, to avoid a fire hazard.



When connecting the car adapter, also check the

vehicle’s owner’s manual for related information.

When supplying power from the cigar lighter socket, follow the cautions

stated in the vehicle’s owner’s manual, to avoid an electric shock or fire

Securely connect the cigar lighter plug in the cigar l

ighter

socket of the vehicle.

A large current flows, so a bad connection poses a heat or fire hazard.



Be sure to grab the cigar lighter plug when removing the

power cable from the cigar lighter socket.

Pulling the cable may cause it to break or disconnect from the cigar

lighter plug, posing a fire hazard.
