7 Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water,
for example near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry basket, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, in an unprotected outdoor installation or any area which is classified as a wet location.
8 Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable
stand, tripod, bracket or mount. This unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the unit. Use only a stand, tripod, bracket or mount recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the unit should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9 Ventilation - Openings in the enclosure, if any, 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 unit should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to. Maintain a minimum distance of 2 inch (50 mm) around the front, the rear, and the sides of the unit for sufficient ventilation.
10 Heat sources - Do not install the unit near any heat
sources such as radiators, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat (including amplifiers).
11 Open flames - No open flames, such as lighted
candles, should be placed on the unit.
12 Power sources - Units 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 you plan to use, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the "Installation and User Instructions".
13 Grounding or polarisation - This unit may be
equipped with a polarised 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 still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised plug. Alternatively, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions for use, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the units to their normal operation.
If the unit has been dropped or the unit has been damaged.
When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance; this indicates a need for service.
19 Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are
required be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or parts which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorised substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
20 Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the units, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
21 Lightning - For added protection of the units during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.

1.7 Conversion tables

In this manual, SI units are used to express lengths, masses, temperatures etc. These can be converted to non-metric units using the following information.
table 1.1: Conversion of units of length
1 in = 25.4 mm 1 mm = 0.03937 in 1 in = 2.54 cm 1 cm = 0.3937 in 1 ft = 0.3048 m 1 m = 3.281 ft 1 mi = 1.609 km 1 km = 0.622 mi
table 1.2: Conversion of units of mass
1 lb = 0.4536 kg 1 kg = 2,2046 lb
table 1.3: Conversion of units of pressure
1 psi = 68.95 hPa 1 hPa = 0.0145 psi
Note
1 hPa = 1 mbar.
table 1.4: Conversion of units of temperature
° F = 9 . ( ° C + 32) ° C = 5 . ( ° F 32)
° F = 5 ° C = 9
