IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

1

 Read these instructions.

2

 Keep these instructions.

Heed all warnings.

Follow all instructions.

Do not use this apparatus near to any water.

Clean only with dry cloth.

7

 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance 

with the manufacturer's instructions.

8

 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 ground-

ing-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 provid-
ed 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 plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point 
where they exit from the apparatus.

11

 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufac-

turer.

12 

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.

13 

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when 

unused for long periods of time.

14 

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.

• Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
• Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on 
the apparatus.

• Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a 
book case or similar unit.

• The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the 
AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON 
position.

• The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC 
outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord plug at any 
time.

• The main plug is used as the disconnect device, the discon-
nect device shall remain readily operable.

• If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or 
installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire 
or excessive heat.

• Caution should be taken when using earphones or head-
phones with the product because excessive sound pressure 
(volume) from earphones or head- phones can cause hearing 
loss.
