SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Read  all  the  safety  and  operating  instructions  before  connection  or  using  the    SAE 
8300. 

• 

All warnings on the unit and in this operating manual should be adhered to. 

• 

All operating instructions should be followed. 

• 

Do not place/use the unit near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl/sink, 
laundry tub, decorative water features (waterfalls/fountains), in a wet basement or 
near a swimming pool.  

• 

This  unit is not intended for outdoor use. 

• 

This unit should be installed so that its location or position does not interfere with its 
proper  ventilation.    For  example,  it  should  not  be  situated  on  a  bed,  sofa,  rug  or 
similar surface that may block its ventilation openings.  It should also not be placed 
in a built-in enclosure, such as bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air 
through its ventilation openings.  

• 

The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, 
hot air ducts, heat  registers, stoves and/or other devices (including amplifiers) that 
produce heat. 

• 

The unit should be connected to a power-supply outlet only of the voltage and fre-
quency marked on its rear panel. 

• 

The  AC  power  cord  should  be  routed  so  that  it  is  not  likely  to  be  walked  on  or 
pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles or where the cord exits 
from the unit. 

• 

Clean  unit only as recommended in this instruction manual. 

• 

The unit’s AC power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet when the unit is 
to be unused for a long period of time. 

• 

Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled, into the 
unit through any openings. 

• 

The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel only when: 

a.  The power cord or plug has been damaged; or 

b.  Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the unit; or 

c.  The unit has been exposed to rain or liquids of any kind; or 

d.  The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in 

performance; or 

e.  The device has been dropped or the enclosure damaged. 

• 

To prevent electric shock, do not use a ground lift plug/adapter.  Also, do not use 
the polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless all the 
blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
