IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

 
WARNING

 – When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 

 

1) Read all the instructions before using the product. 
 
2) Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a 
swimming pool or the like. 

 
3) This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. 
 
4) This product, in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound 
levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a 

level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in your ears, you should consult an audiologist. 
 
5) The product should be located so that its location does not interfere with its proper ventilation. 
 
6) The product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other products that produce 

heat. 

7) The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as 
marked on the product. 
 
8) The power-supply cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. 

 
9) Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. 
 
10) The product should be serviced by qualified personnel when: 

  a) The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or 
  b) Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled onto the product; or 
  c) The product has been exposed to rain; or 
 d) The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in    
    performance; or 

  e) The product has been dropped or the enclosure damaged. 
 
11) Do not attempt to service the product beyond that described in the user-maintenance instructions. All other servicing 
should be referred to qualified service personnel. 
 

DANGER: 

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS: Do not open the chassis. 

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel only.   
 
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: 
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for 

electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding 
connector and a grounding plug.  The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and 
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
 

DANGER

 – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding connector can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a 

qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the 
plug provided with this product – if it will not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
