Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could
block the ventilation openings. If the unit is placed in a bookcase or
cabinet, there must be ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling.
Keep the component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any

provided for your safety. Do not defeat grounding and/or polarization
safety provisions. If the supplied plug does not fit your outlet, please
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not
use extension cords.
The mains plug is the disconnect of the unit. In order to completely
disconnect the unit from the supply mains, remove the main plug from
the unit and the AC power outlet. This is the only way to completely
remove mains power from the unit.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent,
exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the
power cord at the plug and where the cord exits the back of the unit.
The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet during a
lightning storm or if the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time.
Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, rack, bracket or shelf system strong
enough to support the unit. Use caution when moving the unit in a
stand or rack to avoid injury or damage to the unit.
