IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by

the manufacturer.

10.

Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

11.

Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.

12.

This apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing, and no object filled with
liquids, such as vases or beer glasses, shall be
placed on the apparatus.

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may
cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary
considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some
hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise
for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level
exposures shown in the following chart.

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess
of these permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. To ensure against potentially
dangerous exposure to high sound pressure
levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed
to equipment capable of producing high sound
pressure levels use hearing protectors while the
equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors
in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn
when operating the equipment in order to prevent
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of
the limits set forth here:
