Important Safeguards

4. Polarization: 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.
5. Power Sources: This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
location, consult your video dealer or local power company. For products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
6. Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in the
risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They
may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appear-
ance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service
technician.
7. Power-Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the product.
8. Surge Protectors: It is highly recommended that the product be connected to a surge
protector. Doing so will protect the product from damage caused by power surges.
Surge protectors should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
9. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): Because this product is designed for contin-
uous, 24/7 operation, it is recommended that you connect the product to an uninterrup-
tible power supply. An uninterruptible power supply has an internal battery that will
keep the product running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible power sup-
plies should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
10. Ventilation: Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reli-
able operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the prod-
uct on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the
product manufacturer's instructions have been followed.
11. Attachments: Do not use attachments unless recommended by the product manufac-
turer as they may cause a hazard.
