IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do 

not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. The lightning 

flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is 
intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated 
dangerous voltage within the product

’s

 enclosure that may 

be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric 
shock to persons. 

CAUTION: 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. 

Please refer to qualified personnel for service. 

ALERT: 

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

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the component. 

1.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS: 

All the safety and operating instructions of your Cary Audio equipment should be read

before power is applied to the equipment.

2.

RETAIN OWNER'S MANUAL: 

These safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3.

HEED WARNING: 

All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS: 

All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5.

CLEANING: 

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. The unit should be cleaned only as recommended

by the manufacturer.

6.

ATTACHMENTS: Do not 

use attachments not recommended by the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.

WATER AND MOISTURE: Do not 

use the unit near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,

or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool.

8.

ACCESSORIES: Do not 

place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall,

causing serious injury to a child, an adult, or damage to the unit. Mounting of the unit should follow the
manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9.

VENTILATION: 

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the

unit and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The top or bottom panel

openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The unit should
not be installed in a built-in location such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should
be free space of at least 6 inches (16cm) above the unit and an opening behind the unit.

10.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: 

The unit 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 cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should fail to fit, contact a
licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

11.

POWER SOURCES: 

The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking

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

12.

POWER CORD PROTECTION: 

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay close attention to cords where they enter a plug, or a convenience

receptacle, and the point where they exit from the unit.

13.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING: 

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the

antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, NSI/NFPA 70, provides information regarding proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an Antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
