Important Safety Instructions

Read these instructions.

Keep these instructions.

Heed all warnings.

Follow all instructions.

Do not use this apparatus near water.

Clean only with dry cloth.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance 
with the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat 
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

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 third prong are 
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into 
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the 
obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point 
where they exit from the apparatus.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 
manufacturer.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or 
table specified 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.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused 
for long periods of time.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is 
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is 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.

Disconnect power prior to connecting or disconnecting
equipment.

Do not install in direct sunlight.

The apparatus must be installed in a way that the power cord 
can be removed either from the wall outlet or from the device 
itself in order to disconnect the mains power.

Prevent foreign objects from entering the device.

The lightning flash with 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 appliance.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR 
MOISTURE. THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT BE 
EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. OBJECTS
