Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all
safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and use. Keep these
instructions handy for future reference. Take special note, and adhere to all warnings
on the unit and in the instruction and service manual.
1. Water and Moisture - The unit should not be used near water. For example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
a swimming pool, etc.
2. Ventilation - The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not
interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a
bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or
placed in a built-in installation, such as bookcase or cabinet that may impede the
flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat - The unit should be situated away from heat source such as radiators,
heat register, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

5. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
6. 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.
Paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
points where they exit from the unit.
