· Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by

DVD player and cause damage to the lenses. When
you first install the unit, or when you move it from a
cold to a warm location, wait for about one hour
before operating the unit.
