DMF-5020/DMF3020/MD-203 (En) 2 RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION Introduction Before applying power The marking is located on the rear panel and says that the component uses laser beams that have been classified as Class 1. It means that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the unit. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT The marking of products using lasers (Except for some areas) WARNING :TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. Safety precautions Factory fitted moulded mains plug 1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 13- Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse. 2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug. 3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. IMPORTANT :The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code : Blue : Neutral Brown : Live Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a three - pin plug. For the United Kingdom CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. THE LIGHTNING FLASH WITH ARROWHEAD SYMBOL, WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE, IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED ÒDANGEROUS VOLTAGEÓ WITHIN THE PRODUCTÕS ENCLOSURE THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK TO PERSONS. THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE (SERVICING) INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE. Caution : Read this section carefully to ensure safe operation. Units are designed for operation as follows. U.S.A. and Canada ................................................................................................................................................................

When the cursor is : The input character replaces the character in the cursor position. DELETE key: Press to clear (delete) the character on the cursor position and move the characters after it by one character backward. Pressing the key successively (or holding it depressed) allows to clear a title easily. EDIT / SPACE key: Press to enter (insert) a space (one blank character) immediately before the character in the cursor position and move the characters after it by one character forward. Multiple spaces can also be entered by pressing the key successively (or holding it depressed). The spaces are mainly used to leave spaces for later addition of characters before adding characters to a title. 4 5 Eject the Mini Disc. Execute title change or deletion. While ÒWRITINGÓ is displayed, do not apply shock or vibration to the unit because information is being written on the Mini Disc. Scrolling the display There may be cases in which the amount of information is too large to be displayed at a time during the title input operation, etc. In such a case, pressing the 1 or Á key repeatedly allows to move the displayed characters to the left (or right) so that other information which has been hidden can be displayed. This leftward or rightward movement of the display characters is referred to as Òscrolling.Ó Example of scrolling Displayed area (All cannot be displayed.) 1 Enter the title in memory.
