use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation
and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on
the unit.
1.
Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
2.
Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed
in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3.
Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
4.
Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance. Only use the AC adapter that came with the unit.
5.
Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cable exits the unit to where it is plugged into
an AC socket.

lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
