Safety Information (cont'd)
17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electric
shock.
18. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts, resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product.
19. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a qualified ser-
viceman when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when this product
is subsequently used.
20. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: a) when the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed; b) if liquid has
spilled into the product; c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water; d) if the product does
not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions (adjust only those controls that are
discussed in the owner's manual, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage,
often requiring extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal perfor-
mance); e) if the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged; f) if the product
exhibits a distinct change in performance.
21. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
22. Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately,
but use a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. With a cordless phone, also make sure
that the phone base is away from the gas leak.
23. Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
