•
Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as

•
as a book case or similar unit.
The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power
•
from the AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON

The apparatus should be located close enough to the
•
AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord
plug at any time.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the
•
disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Products with Class I construction are equipped with a
•
power supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord
of such a product must be plugged into an AC outlet
that has a protective grounding connection.
If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack
•
or installed batteries), they should not be exposed to
sunshine, fire or excessive heat.
CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium
•
batteries: there is danger of explosion if a battery is
replaced with an incorrect type of battery. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
Caution should be taken when using earphones or
•
headphones with the product because excessive
sound pressure (volume) from earphones or head-
phones can cause hearing loss.
