Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. Please read and follow all
instructions and heed all warnings on the Fusion 8100 and in this manual. The vast majority of the
subsequent safety precautions are common sense. If you are not comfortable with the installation of audio/
video entertainment equipment, you should seek the services of a qualified installation professional or call us

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE FUSION 8100 NEAR
WATER OR IN WET LOCATIONS, DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE, DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO
DRIPPING OR SPLASHING FROM OTHER SOURCES, AND ENSURE THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH
LIQUIDS (SUCH AS VASES) ARE PLACED ON IT. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE FUSION 8100
AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, WHICH MAY RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER FROM THE
FUSION 8100. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE FUSION 8100. REFER ALL SERVICE
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Do not install the Fusion 8100 near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating vents, or other
apparatus’ that produce heat. Do not block any ventilation openings or heat sinks. Avoid installing the
Fusion 8100 directly above other heat-producing equipment unless sufficient ventilation or forced-air cooling
is provided.
Do not install the Fusion 8100 in locations without proper ventilation. The Fusion 8100 should not be
operated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The Fusion 8100 should not be installed
in an enclosed location such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack unless sufficient forced-air
ventilation is provided.
Always install your Fusion 8100 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only use attachments or
accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Do not install the Fusion 8100 on any stand, shelf, or other piece of furniture that is unable to support its
weight. If a cart is used to move the Fusion 8100, use caution to avoid injury from tip-over.
Connect the Fusion 8100 only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this manual and on the
Fusion 8100).
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially careful
where the power cable enters the power outlet and the Fusion 8100 unit.
Only connect the Fusion 8100 to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating.
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using unsafe
adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a third ground
prong in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third grounding prong is provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
If you replace the power cord on the Fusion 8100, only use one of similar type and equal or greater current
rating.
