Do not install the SR-8100 near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating vents, or other
apparatus’ that produce heat. Do not block any ventilation openings or heat sinks. Avoid installing
the SR-8100 directly above other heat-producing equipment unless sufficient ventilation or forced-air
cooling is provided.
Do not install the SR-8100 in locations without proper ventilation. The SR-8100 should not be operated
on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The SR-8100 should not be installed in an
enclosed location such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack unless sufficient forced-air
ventilation is provided.
Always install your SR-8100 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only use attachments or
accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Do not install the SR-8100 on any stand, shelf, or other piece of furniture that is unable to support its
weight. If a cart is used to move the SR-8100, use caution to avoid injury from tip-over.
Connect the SR-8100 only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this manual and on
the SR-8100).
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially
careful where the power cable enters the power outlet and the SR-8100 unit.
Only connect the SR-8100 to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating.
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using
unsafe adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a
third ground prong in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third grounding prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. If you replace the power cord on the SR-8100, only use one of similar type and
equal or greater current rating.
The power cable for the SR-8100 should be unplugged from the outlet during severe electrical storms,
or when unused for a long period of time.
