Page 4 Precautions Important Safety Warnings [Power] Operate unit only on the specified supply voltage. Caution Disconnect power cord by connector only. Do not pull on cable portion. Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on power cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards.
Page 5 [Circuitry Access] Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access circuitry with power applied to the unit! Turn power off and disconnect power cord prior to removal. Internal servicing / adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel. Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor.
