IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1

Read these instructions.

2  Keep these instructions.
3  Heed all warnings.
4  Follow all instructions.
5  Do not use this apparatus near water.
6  Clean only with dry cloth.
7  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install

in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

8  Do not install near any heat sources such 

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

9  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the 

polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one 
wider than the other. A grounding type plug 
has two blades and a third grounding  prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10  Protect the power cord from being walked 

on or pinched particularly at plugs, 
convenience receptacles, and the point 
where they exit from the apparatus.

11  Only use attachments/accessories specified

by the manufacturer.

12  Unplug this apparatus during lightning  storms

or when unused for long periods of time. 

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when 

moving the cart/apparatus combination to 
avoid injury from tip-over.

13  Refer all servicing to qualified service 

personnel. Servicing is required when the 
apparatus has been damaged in any way, 
such as power-supply cord or plug is 
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the 
apparatus has been exposed to rain or 
moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.

This equipment should be installed near the 
socket outlet and disconnection of the  device 
should be easily accessible.

To completely disconnect from AC mains,
disconnect the power supply cord from the AC
receptable.

The mains plug of the power supply shall
remain readily operable.

Do not install in a confined space.

Do not open the unit - risk of electric shock 
inside.

Caution:

You are cautioned that any change or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.

Service

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. 

All service must be performed by qualified 
personnel.

Warning!

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,
do not expose this equipment to dripping or
splashing and ensure that no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the
equipment.

This apparatus must be earthed.

Use a three wire grounding type line cord 
like the one supplied with the product.

Be advised that different operating voltages
require the use of different types of line 
cord and attachment plugs.

Check the voltage in your area and use the 
correct type. See table below:

Voltage 

Line plug according to standard

110-125V UL817 and CSA C22.2 no 42.

220-230V CEE 7 page VII, SR section 

107-2-D1/IEC 83 page C4.

240V

BS 1363 of 1984. 
Specification for 13A fused 
plugs and switched and 
unswitched socket outlets.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the 
presence of uninsulated "dangerous volt-

age" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of 
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)

instructions in the literature accompanying the
product.
