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. 

10.

 

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

11.

 

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 

12.

 

Unplug the apparatus during lightening sorts or when unused for long periods of 
time. 

13.

 

Refer  all  servicing  to  qualified  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.

 

14.

 

Disconnecting  from  mains:  When  switching  off  the  POWER  switch,  all  the 
functions and light indicators of the unit will be stopped, but fully disconnecting 
the device from mains is done by unplugging the power cable from the mains 
input socket. For this reason, it always shall remain easily accessible. 

15.

 

Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection by means of 
a power cord. 

16.

 

The marking information is located at the bottom of the unit. 

17.

 

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects 
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus. 
 

NOTE: 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class 

A  digital  device,  pursuant  to  part  15  of  the  FCC  Rules.  These  limits  are  designed  to 
provide  reasonable  protection  against  harmful  interference  when  the  equipment  is 
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate 
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction 
manual,  may  cause  harmful  interference  to  radio  communications.  Operation  of  this 
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
