IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION – READ FIRST 

 

 

This  symbol,  whenever  it  appears  alerts  you  to  the 
presence  of  uninsulated  dangerous  voltage  inside 
the  enclosure-voltage  that  may  be  sufficient  to 
constitute a risk of shock. 

This symbol, whenever it appears, alerts you to 
important operating and maintenance instructions in 
the accompanying literature. Please read the 
manual. 

 

Read Instructions:

 Retain safety and operating instructions for 

future reference. Heed all warnings printed here and on the 
equipment. Follow the operating instructions printed in this user 
manual. 

Do not open:

 There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer 

any service work to qualified technical personnel only. 
 

Environment:

 Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat, and 

vibration when operating and storing. Avoid tobacco ash, drink 
spillage and smoke, especially that associated with smoke 
machines. 
 

Handling: 

Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use 

adequate padding if you need to ship the unit. To avoid injury to 
yourself or damage to the equipment, take care when lifting, 
moving or carrying the unit. 
 

Servicing:

 Refer servicing to qualified technical personnel. 

 

Installation: 

Install the unit in accordance with the instructions 

printed in the user manual.
