Important Safety Precautions and Explanation of Symbols

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of 

important installation, operation, and service instructions in this manual.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user 

to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltages within the enclosure that may be of sufficient 

magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to the user. 
Please read this Installation and Operation Manual thoroughly before attempting to install, configure, 

or operate the Sherbourn 4Z-75. After successful installation and configuration of the 4Z-75, be sure to 

retain this manual in a safe place for future reference. 
Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. Please read and follow 

all instructions and heed all warnings on the 4Z-75 and in this manual. The vast majority of the 

subsequent safety precautions are common sense. If you are not comfortable with the installation 

of audio/video entertainment equipment, you should seek the services of a qualified installation 

professional or call us for help.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE  

4Z-75 NEAR WATER OR IN WET LOCATIONS, DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE, 

DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING FROM OTHER SOURCES, AND ENSURE 

THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS (SUCH AS VASES) ARE PLACED ON IT. DOING SO 

MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE 4Z-75 AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, WHICH MAY 

RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER 

FROM THE 4Z-75. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE 4Z-75. REFER ALL 

SERVICE TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Do not install the 4Z-75 near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating vents, or other 

apparatus that produces heat. Do not block any ventilation openings or heat sinks. Avoid installing the 

4Z-75 directly above other heat-producing equipment unless sufficient ventilation or forced-air cooling 

is provided.
Do not install the 4Z-75 in locations without proper ventilation. The 4Z-75 should not be operated 

on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The 4Z-75 should not be installed in an 

enclosed location such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack unless sufficient forced-air 

ventilation is provided.
Always install your 4Z-75 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only use attachments or 

accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Do not install the 4Z-75 on any stand, shelf, or other piece of furniture that is unable to support its 

weight. If a cart is used to move the 4Z-75, use caution to avoid injury from tip-over.
Connect the 4Z-75 only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this manual and on the 

4Z-75). Ensure that the Input Voltage selector switch on the rear of the 4Z-75 is set to the appropriate 

voltage.
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially 

careful where the power cable enters the power outlet and the 4Z-75 unit. 
Only connect the 4Z-75 to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating. 
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using 

unsafe adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a 

third ground prong in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third groundling prong is 

provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace 

your obsolete outlet. If you replace the 4Z-75 power cord, only use one of similar type and equal or 

greater current rating.
