Important Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions

Read and Retain These Instructions: All the safety instructions should be read before the product is
operated. Keep them for later reference.
Follow These Instructions: All operating and use instructions should be followed.

Water and Moisture:

Do not use this product near water: for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl,

kitchen sink, laundry tub, wet basement, swimming pool, and the like. 
Accessories: Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product
may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product.

Ventilation:

There may or may not be slots and openings in the cabinet provided for ventilation. These

openings ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from overheating. They must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug,
or similar surface. Even if there are no slots or openings, this product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.

Power Sources:

This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the

product label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company.

Grounding and Polarization:

This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by using an adaptor unless the adaptor is grounded safely.

Power-Cord Protection:

Power-supply cords should be routed so they won’t be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point at which they enter the product. 

Lightning:

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended

and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the
product due to lightning and power-line surges. It is beneficial to use a surge suppressor for this 
product as well as the entire system, if possible.

Overloading

: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this

can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings. They may
touch dangerous voltage points or short circuit parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Do not
expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and ensure that no objects filled with water, such as
vases, are placed on it.
