staple accidentally falls inside the unit, discon-
nect it from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new HD 990 during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration. We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you
may wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully
slitting the tape seams on the bottom and col-
lapsing the carton down to a more two-dimen-
sional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may
be stored in the same manner. Packing materials
that cannot be collapsed should be saved along
with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping protection are
recyclable. Please respect the environment and
discard those materials at a local recycling
center.
