2.   The product should be powered by a three pin `grounded (or earthed) plug connected to a power socket with a grounded earth outlet.
3.   All safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference
4.   Obey all cautions in the Operating instructions and on the back of the unit
5.   All operating instructions should be followed
6.   This product should not be used near water, i.e. a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.
7.   This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built up enclosure that 

will impede the flow of cooling air.

8.  This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat producing  amplifier.
9.   Connect only to a power supply of the type marker on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
10. Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord. 
11. Power supply cords should always be handled carefully.  Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at  

the plug and the point where the chord exits the unit.

12. The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.
13. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
14. The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable.
15. Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp cloth or ammonia based household cleaner if necessary.  

Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.   

16. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any ventilation holes or openings.  On no account place drinks on the unit.
17. A qualified service technician should check the unit if:

18. The user should not attempt to service the equipment.  All service work is done by a qualified service technician.
19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing gloss.  Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone 

will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.  The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified 
the following permissible noise level exposure.

        

    Duration Per Day In Hours

Sound Level dBA, slow response

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss.  Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be 
worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above.  To ensure against potentially dangerous 
exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system 
be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
