5.

 Cleaning

 — Unplug the unit and clean it with a damp

cloth.  Do not use a liquid or aerosol cleaner, or a
magnetic/static cleaning device. The unit should be
cleaned only as recommended in this manual;

6.

 Accessories

 — Do not use accessories unless

recommended in this manual. Do not connect or play the
unit before making sure that the associated accessories are

7.

 Placing or moving

 — Do not place the unit on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may
fall causing serious injury, and serious damage. A unit
with cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
unit cart combination to overturn;

8.

 Ventilation

 — The unit control plate has openings for

ventilation that protects it from overheating.
a.

Avoid obstructing these openings;

b. Do not place the unit close to a radiator or heat

register.

9.

 Grounding 

— The active module unit has a three-

prong plug. Properly ground the unit by inserting the plug
into a grounded electrical, three-socket outlet. 

10.

 Spikes

 — The underneath unit spikes assure a tight

coupling with the floor. They are razor-sharp and must be
manipulated with extreme care. Do not move the product
while the product spikes are installed. The product spikes
should be removed before moving the product;

11.

 Moving when Packed

 —  The unit comes packed in

an air-transportation-approved flight case. This case is
heavy and cannot be carried by a single person.
Attempting to move it alone could cause serious injury;

12.

 Packing and Unpacking Instructions

 — The product

should be packed/unpacked only as indicated on the
packing/ unpacking instruction sheet;

13.

 Object and Liquid Entry

 — Do not expose the unit to

liquid or moisture, or spill liquids on or near it. Do not
place the unit on a wet surface. Never put objects of any
kind into the unit’s openings, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or cause short-circuits that could
result in a fire or electric shock; 

14.

 Power source

 — A label on the unit indicates the

correct power source for this equipment. Operate the unit
only from an electrical outlet that has the voltage and
frequency indicated on the label. Do not overload
electrical outlets or extension cords, as this can result in
a risk of fire or electrical shock.

15.

 Power cord and interconnects protection

 — Arrange

all connecting cables so that people cannot walk on the
cables, or place object on or against the cables, as this
may damage them. Pay particular attention to cords that
are at plugs, at electrical outlets, connected to accessories,
and at the place where the cords exit the unit.

16.
