Important Safety Instructions

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 a 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.

  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

10.

 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.

11.

 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.

12.

  Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss.  

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 period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures  

shown in the following chart.

 

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result  

in some hearing loss. 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 use hearing protectors while the equipment  

is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must  

be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing  

loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:
