WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus  
to rain or moisture. The following caution is located on the AC power  
adaptor label.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the  
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”  
within the product’s enclosure that may be of  
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of elec-  
tric shock to persons.  
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the  
presence of important operating and mainte-  
nance (servicing) instructions in the literature  
accompanying the appliance.  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this  
apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not place objects filled  
with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.  
Do not install the AC power adaptor in a confined space, such as  
a bookcase or built-in cabinet.  
• The name plate is located on the bottom exterior of this unit.  
• The AC power adaptor is not disconnected from the mains as long as  
it is connected to the AC outlet.  
• As the main plug of AC power adaptor is used to disconnect the AC  
power adaptor from the mains, connect it to an easily accessible AC  
outlet. Should you notice any abnormality in it, disconnect it from the  
AC outlet immediately.  
 
NOTIFICATION  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for  
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These  
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,  
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio 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 television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
• 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.  
CAUTION  
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly  
approved in this guide could void your authority to operate equipment.  
 
FCC Radiation Exposure  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health  
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There  
is no proof, however, that these low power Wireless devices are  
absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio  
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.  
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating  
tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects  
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF  
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have  
suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings  
have not been confirmed by additional research.  
This device (HID-C10) has been tested and found to comply with the  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on RF energy  
exposure. The maximum SAR level tested for the AK8HIDC10 has been  
shown to be 0.8 W/kg at Body. This transmitter must not be  
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or  
transmitter.

long periods of time.  
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is  
required when the apparatus has beendamaged in any way, such  
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or  
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been  
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been  
dropped.

Precautions  
To disconnect the AC power adaptor cord (mains lead), pull it out by  
the plug, not the cord.  
Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a  
radiator or air duct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive  
dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.  
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build up. Do  
not place the unit on a surface (a rug, a blanket, etc.) or near  
materials (a curtain) which might block the ventilation holes.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and  
have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.  
To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent  
solution. When cleaning, unplug the unit.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please  
contact Sony customer support.  
Notes on LCD screen  
The displayed image on the screen is not identical in picture quality  
and colors with the printed image because phosphor methods or  
profiles differ. Please regard the displayed image as just a reference.  
Do not press against the LCD screen with excessive force. The  
screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.  
Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for long periods may  
cause malfunction.  
The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision  
technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective  
use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright  
points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on  
the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing  
process and do not affect the printing in any way.  
Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is  
not a malfunction.
