When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufac-

tured to ensure your personal safety.  However, improper use can result in 

potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating 

instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these instructions 

handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these 

instructions and on the unit.

 

1.   Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: 

near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a 

wet basement. 

2.   Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does 

not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be 

situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation 

openings.  Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a 

bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of air through the 

ventilation openings.

3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as 

radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) 

that produce heat.

4.   Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of 

the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the 

appliance.

5.   Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that 

they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or 

against them.  It is always best to have a clear area from where the cable 

exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC socket.

6.  Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended.  See the 

Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning instructions.

7.   Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall 

and liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents located on the 

product.

8.   Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product 

manufacturer.

9.  Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall 

socket and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning 

storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This 

will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

10. Overloading  – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral 

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

11. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified 

service personnel when:

A.   the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.

B.  objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.

C.  the unit has been exposed to rain.

D.  the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

E.   the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate 

normally.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS (CONTINUED)

12. Periods of Non use – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period 

of time, such as a month or longer, the power cable should be unplugged 

from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion. 

13. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those 

methods described in the user’s operating instructions.  Service methods 

not covered in the operating instructions should be referred to qualified 

service personnel.

14. Magnetic Interference: This product’s speakers contain powerful magnets 

which could cause interference or damage to sensitive equipment such as 

hard drives, CRT televisions and monitors, as well as medical, scientific, 

and navigational devices. Keep this unit away from these products at all 

times.
