SERVICING

1. Servicing

If your product is not operating correctly or exhibits a marked 
change in performance and you are unable to restore normal 
operation by following the detailed procedure in its operating 
instructions, do not attempt to service it yourself as opening or 
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other 
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

2. Damage Requiring Service

product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the

restore the product to its normal operation.

this indicates a need for service.
