safety and operation instructions should be read before any operation of the component(s) begin.
After successful installation and configuration of the UMC-1, be sure to retain this manual in a safe
place for any future reference needs.
All warnings on the UMC-1 and in these operating instructions should be followed. Safety is a key
component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. The vast majority of the subsequent
safety precautions involve simple common sense. If you are not comfortable with the installation
of audio/video entertainment equipment, it will be to your benefit to seek the services of a
qualified installation professional or call us for help.
The UMC-1 should NEVER be used near water such as a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc. There is a risk of electric shock to your body and permanent damage to the
equipment. Electric shock may result in permanent bodily injury or death.
The UMC-1 should be situated so that its location or installation position does not interfere with proper ventilation.
The UMC-1 should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block any ventilation openings; or
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack that may impeded the flow of air
through ventilation openings. If installed in a closed equipment rack for custom installations, be sure to add forced air
ventilation so that it has adequate air circulation.
The UMC-1 should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, or any other devices which produce heat.
The UMC-1 should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in this User's Guide and what is labeled
on the UMC-component. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not in high foot traffic areas or pinched
by item placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at the wall plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they connect into the UMC-1. The power cord for the UMC-1 should be unplugged from the outlet
when unused for a long period of time or turned off by the main power switch on the back of the unit.
When it's time for cleaning the UMC-1, it should be cleaned only as recommended in this User's Guide. Never spray
liquids directly into the component's vent openings. Care should be taken so that small objects do not fall into the
inside of the UMC-1.
The following situations require that your UMC-1 be serviced only by qualified service personnel:
