WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Water and Moisture

—To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, these appliances should not be used 

near water  ––for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a 
swimming pool.

Power Cord Protection

—Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, 

convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Telephones

—Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a 

remote risk of electrical shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak if the leak is in the 
vicinity of the ELAN electronic equipment because of risk of fire or explosion.

Cleaning

—Unplug the apparatus from the power outlet before cleaning.  Use only a dry cloth to clean the 

apparatus.

Power Lines

—An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. When installing an outside 

antenna system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them 
may be fatal.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

—If an outside antenna or cable system

is connected to these audio products, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded 
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charg-
es. Section 810 of the U.S. National Electrical Code, and Section 54 of the 
Canadian Electrical Code, provide information with respect to 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. 
See the grounding diagram (right).

Overloading

—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this could 

result in fire or electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry

—Never insert objects of any kind through the 

openings of these appliances, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or 
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Care should be taken so that 
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the appliance through openings in the enclosure.

Servicing

—Do not attempt to service these appliances yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose 

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Damage Requiring Service

—These appliances should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

• A power supply connection or a plug has been damaged or
• If liquid has been spilled into the appliance or objects have fallen into the appliance or
• The appliance has been exposed to water or moisture or
• The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance or
• The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
