Service
Do not attempt to carry out any 
service work yourself. By opening or 
removing the cabinet, you will be 
exposed to dangerous voltage or 
other hazards. Any service work 
should be carried out by qualified 
technicians.

Spare parts
If spare parts are required, make sure that the 
service technician uses spare parts specified by the 
manufacturer or spare parts with the same 
characteristics as the original. Unauthorised spare 
parts may cause fire, electrical shock, etc.

Safety check
After service or repairs on the unit, 
ask the service technician to carry 
out a safety check to ensure that 
the unit is ready for use.

Damage
Unplug the unit and contact qualified technicians in 
the following cases:
A) If the power cord or the plug is damaged.
B) If liquid has been spilled on the unit or objects
have fallen into the unit.
C) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
D) If the unit does not work properly after adhering to
the instructions in the operation manual. Only the
settings described in the operation manual must be 
made as incorrect setting may result in damage and
often will make it difficult for a qualified technician to 
make the unit work properly again.
E) If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any
other way.
F) When the operation of the unit changes
drastically, the unit requires service.

Lightning
Unplug the unit for additional 
protection during thunder or when 
the unit is not used for prolonged 
periods. This will prevent damage 
to the unit from lightning and 
power surges.

Penetration of objects and liquid
Never push any foreign objects 
through the openings into the unit, 
as they may touch dangerous 
voltage points or short-circuit parts 
and thus cause fire or electric 
shock. Do not spill liquid on the 
unit.

Accessories
Do not place the unit on unstable surfaces such as a 
trolley, stand, tripod, shelf or table. The unit 
may fall and injure children or adults or 
be seriously damaged. Use only trolley,
stand, tripod, shelf or table that is very
 stable or provided with the unit. The unit 
must be installed in accordance with the 
manufacturer's instructions and by means of 
installation equipment recommended by the 
manufacturer.
If the unit is placed on a trolley, the trolley must be 
moved very carefully. Sudden stops, unnecessary 
force and uneven surfaces may cause the trolley to 
turn over. 

Loads
Do not place heavy loads on the 
unit and do not step on it. The load 
may fall and cause serious injury to 
persons or damage to the unit.
