WARNING

 – when using electric products, basic precautions should be followed, including the following: 

 

Read all of the safety and installations instructions and explanation of graphic symbols before using the product. 

 

1.   Do not use this apparatus near water. 

2.   Clean only with dry cloth. 

3.   Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in 

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 

4.  Do not install near any heat sources such as 

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus 
(including amplifiers) that produce heat. 

5.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 

grounding-110 to 125V type plug according to UL 
817 and CSA C22.2 no. 42. 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. 

 

 

6.   Protect the power cord from being walked on or 

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from 
the apparatus.  

7.   Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 

manufacturer. 

8.  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. 

9.  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or 

when unused for long periods of time. 

10. 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. 

 

DANGER

  

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not modify the 
plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 
electrician. Do not use an adapter which defeats the function of the equipment-grounding conductor. If you 
are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded, check with a qualified serviceman or 
electrician.
