1.

READ these instructions.

2.

KEEP these instructions.

3.

HEED all warnings.

4.

FOLLOW all instructions.

5.

DO NOT use this apparatus near water.

6.

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.

9.

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.

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 manufacturer.

12. 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.

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.

15. DO NOT expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on 

the apparatus.

16. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.
17. Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. 
18. DO NOT overload wall outlets or extension cords beyond their rated capacity as this can cause electric shock or fire. 

The exclamation point, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance 

(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous 

voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.

ESD Warning: The icon to the left indicates text regarding potential danger associated with the discharge of static electricity from an outside 

source (such as human hands) into an integrated circuit, often resulting in damage to the circuit.

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

WARNING: 

No naked flame sources - such as lighted candles - should be placed on the product.

WARNING: 

Equipment shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, grounding of the center pin of this plug must be maintained.
