8.

  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

10.

 Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

when moving the cart/apparatus combination to 

avoid injury from tip-over.

11.

 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.

12.

 Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing 

loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced 

hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to 

sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s 

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified 

the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.

  According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits 

could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially danger-

ous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all 

persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pres-

sure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. 

Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn 

when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing 

loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:
