the device, speakers or anything else on the power cord and make sure that it does not become
clamped. Never tie knots in the power cord and do not bind it together with other cables. Lay the
power cord so that no one can step on or stumble over it. A damaged power cord can cause a
fire or an electrical shock. Check the power cord from time to time. Should it become damaged
contact our customer service department to have it replaced.
