Safety Instructions

•  WARNING. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR 

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS 

DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. 

•  Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not place 

flammable material on or underneath this 

device. 

•  Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on 

the end of the AC cord unless necessary to 

reduce hum from ground loops of connected 

equipment. Disconnecting the ground may 

cause RFI (radio frequency interference) 

to be induced into your playback setup. 

Removing or bypassing the ground pin on 

any electrical component is potentially 

dangerous and should be avoided for safety 

reasons. 

•  Protect the power cord from being walked on 

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 

receptacles, and the point where they exit 

from the apparatus. Unplug this apparatus 

during lightning storms or when unused for 

long periods of time.
