IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle 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 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 product. 

 

  Read these instructions 

  Keep these instructions. 

  Heed all warnings. 

  Follow all instructions. 

  Do not use this apparatus near water 

  Clean only with dry cloth. 

  Do not block any ventilation openings.  Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 

  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus 

(including amplifiers) that produce heat. 

  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.  A polarized plug has two 

blades with one wider than other.  A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.  
The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety.  If the provided plug does not fit into your 
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 

  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 

receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus. 

  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer 

  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 

  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  Servicing is required when the apparatus has been 

damaged 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. 

   

WARNING 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC –  SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS 
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE 

WARNING

 

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND ENSURE THAT NO 
OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS ARE PLACED ON THE EQUIPMENT 

WARNING

  

TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT THE 
POWER SUPPLY CORD PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE 

WARNING

  

THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE
