Page 4 Precautions Important Safety Warnings [Power] Operate unit only at the specified supply voltage. Caution Disconnect the power cord via the power plug only. Do not pull on the cable portion. Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on the power cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards.
Page 5 [Circuitry Access] Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access the circuitry with power applied to the unit. Turn the power off and disconnect the 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.
Page 6 Upon Receipt FA-9600 units and their accessories are fully inspected and adjusted prior to shipment. Check your received items against the packing lists below. Check to ensure no damage has occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, or items are missing, inform your supplier immediately.
