A Consumer Guide to Product Safety  
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your  
personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards.

1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub,  
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.  
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 ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation,  
such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described

the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of your polarized plug by forcing the plug into the outlet.  
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. It is always best to have  
a clear area from where the cord exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC outlet.  
7. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the Maintenance section  
of this manual for cleaning instructions.

are not spilled into any openings or vents located on the product.  
9. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.  
10. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall outlet during  
a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This  
will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.  
11. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience  
receptacles as this can result in fire or electric shock.  
12. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel  
when:  
A. the power supply cord or plug has been damaged.  
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.  
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.  
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.  
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.  
13. Antenna – Do not connect an external antenna to the unit.  
14. Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such  
as a month or longer, the power cord should be unplugged from the unit to prevent damage  
or corrosion.  
15. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described  
in the users operating instructions. Service methods not covered in the operating instructions  
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
