IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Caution:

 Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the 

manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this device.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits 
for a Class B digitial device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These 
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, 
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and 
used  in  accordance  with  the  instructions,  may  cause  harmful 
interference  to  radio  or  television  reception,  which  can  be 
determined  by  tuning  the  equipment  off  and  on,  the  user  is 
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 
following measures: 

Re-orientate  or  re-locate  the  receiving  antenna.  Increase  the 
separation between the equipment and the receiver. Connect the 
equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the 
receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.

Mains Supply: 

The mains operating voltage is shown on the rear 

panel. If this voltage does not match the mains voltage in your area, 
consult your  dealer about converting the unit. 

The mains supply fuse on the rear panel is accessible when the IEC

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 wider 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. 

Use  only  attachments/accessories  specified  by  the 
manufacturer.

Use  only  with  a  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.
