Explanation of Graphical Symbols:
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Warning
To prevent electric shock or injury, these safety instructions
should be followed in the installation, use and servicing the
unit.
Installation
Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended
by the unit manufacturer as they may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
Water and Moisture — Do not use this unit near water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the
like.
Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including
heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat.
It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5˚C
(41˚F) or greater than 35˚C (95˚F ).
Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
Accessories — Do not place this unit on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to
the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the unit.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
Portable cart — An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care.
PORTABLE CART
WARNING
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
S3125A
Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate
space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.
Allow 15 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit,
and 5 cm from the each side.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of
the unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface. (This unit should never by placed near or over
a radiator or heat register.) This unit should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper
ventilation is provided.
Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any
kind into this unit through the cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
unit.
Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be
mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating
Instructions.
Electric Power
Power Sources — This unit should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company. To
operate unit on battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization — This unit is provided 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.
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
point where they exit from the product.
2
Overloading — Do not allow anything to rest on the power
cord. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not locate this unit
where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
Outdoor Antenna
Power lines — An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
the figure.
