INSTRUCTIONS!

PLEASE READ THEM BEFORE

OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT.

Safety Instructions

General:

1. Read all the safety and operating instructions, contained

in this owner’s manual, before operating this equipment.

2. Retain this owner’s manual for future reference about

safety and operating instructions.

3. Adhere to all warnings and operating instructions.

4. Follow all operating and use instructions.

5. Warning: To reduce risk of fire or electrical shock,

do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.

This unit is capable of producing high sound pressure

levels. Continued exposure to high sound pressure

levels can cause permanent hearing impairment or

loss. User caution is advised and ear protection is

recommended when playing at high volumes.

6. Caution: to prevent electrical shock do not use this

(polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle

or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted

to prevent blade exposure.

utiliser cette fiche polarisee avec un prolongateur,

une prise de courant ou un autre sortie de courant,

sauf si les lames peuvent etre inserees afond ans en

laisser aucune partie a decouvert.

7. For added protection for this product during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long

periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and dis-

connect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the product due to lightning or power line

surges.

8. Do not use attachments not recommended in this

owner’s manual as they may cause hazards.

Installation:

9. Locate the equipment for proper ventilation. For ex-

ample, the equipment should not be placed on a bed,

sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block ventilation

openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a

bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air

through the ventilation openings.

10. Locate the equipment away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliance (in-

cluding amplifiers) that produce heat.

11. Mount the equipment in a wall or cabinet only as de-

scribed in this owner’s manual

12. Do not use this equipment near water; for example,

near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in

a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

13. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,

tripod, bracket, or table. The equipment may fall, caus-

ing serious injury to a person, and serious damage to

the product.

Connection:

14. Connect this equipment only to the type of AC power

source as marked on the unit.

15. Route AC power cords so that they are not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against

them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, con-

venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the instrument.

16. Do not defeat the inherent design features of the polar-

ized plug. Non-polarized line cord adapters will defeat

the safety provided by the polarized AC plug. If the

plug should fail to fit, contact your electrician to re-

place your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-

pose of the grounding-type plug.
