7.

   Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance 

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8.

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

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifi ers) 
that produce heat.

9.

   Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 

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

10.

  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched 

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point 
where they exit from the apparatus. 

11.

  Only use attachments/accessories specifi ed by the 

manufacturer.

12.

  Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specifi ed 

by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a 
cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus 
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13.

  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when 

unused for long periods of time.

14.

  Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service personnel. Servicing 

is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any 
way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug has been 
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.

15.

  This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, 

and no object fi lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be 
placed on the apparatus.

16.

  This apparatus has been designed with Class-I construction 

and must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a 
protective earthing connection (the third grounding prong).

17.

  This apparatus has been equipped with a single-pole rocker-

style AC mains power switch. This switch is located on the 
front panel and should remain readily accessible to the user.

18.

  This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class 

B (whichever is applicable) limits for radio noise 
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio 
interference regulations of the Canadian Department of 
Communications.

ATTENTION —Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits 
radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils 
numériques de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le 
règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere 
des communications du Canada.

18.

  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 suffi

  ciently 

intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has 
specifi ed 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 dangerous exposure to high 
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons 
exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound 
pressure 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. 

WARNING — To reduce the risk 

of fi re or electric shock, do not 

expose this appliance to rain or 

moisture.
