guidelines

important safety instructions

This product is designed and manufactured to meet 

strict quality and safety standards. However, you should 

be aware of the following installation and operation 

precautions.
1. Take heed of warnings and instructions
You should read all the safety and operating instructions 

before operating this equipment. Retain this handbook 

for future reference and adhere to all warnings in the 

handbook or on the equipment.
2. Water and moisture
The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous. 

Do not use the equipment near water – for example next 

to a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement 

or near a swimming pool, etc.
3. Object or liquid entry
Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not 

spilled into the enclosure through any openings. Liquid-

filled objects such as vases should not be placed on the 

equipment.
4. Placing the equipment
Only use a rack or shelf that is stable and strong enough 

to support the weight of this equipment.

5. Ventilation
Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or 

similar soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or 

cabinet, since ventilation may be impeded. 
5. Heat
Locate the equipment away from naked flames or heat-

producing appliances such as radiators, stoves or other 

appliances that produce heat.
6. Climate
The equipment has been designed for use in moderate 

climates and in domestic situations.
8. Cleaning
Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe with a 

soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use chemical solvents for 

cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or 

polishes as they can cause permanent white marks.
9. Power sources
Only connect the equipment to a power supply of 

the type described in the operating instructions or as 

marked on the equipment.

The primary method of isolating the equipment from 

the mains supply is to remove the mains plug. The 

equipment must be installed in a manner that makes 

disconnection possible.
10. Power-cord protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not 

likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon 

or against them. Pay particular attention to the point 

where they exit from the equipment.
11. Non-use periods
If the equipment is not being used for an extended 

period, we recommend that you unplug the power cord 

of the equipment from the outlet, to save power.
12. Abnormal smell
If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the 

equipment, turn the power off immediately and unplug 

the equipment from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer 

and do not reconnect the equipment.
13. Servicing
You should not attempt to service the equipment. 

Contact your dealer to arrange servicing.

14. Damage requiring service
The equipment should be serviced by qualified service 

personnel when:

A.  the power-supply cord or the plug has been 

damaged, or

B.  objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the 

equipment, or

C.  the equipment has been exposed to rain, or
D.  the equipment does not appear to operate 

normally or exhibits a marked change in 

performance, or

E.  the equipment has been dropped or the enclosure 

damaged.

Safety compliance

This equipment has been designed to meet the IEC/EN 

60065 international electrical safety standard.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

ATTENTION

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified 

service personnel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of 

uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric 

shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and 

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

CAUTION: In Canada and the USA, to prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot in the socket 

and insert the plug fully into the socket.
