severe angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way.

The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet if the unit is to be
left unused for a long period of time.

viced by a qualified service agency if:

• The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.

• Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit.

• The unit has been exposed to rain.

• The unit shows signs of improper operation

• The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way
