IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Caution:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
remove the back panel. No userserviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel.
Explanation of Graphical
Symbols:
The lightning flash within an
equilateral triangle is intended
to alert you to the presence of
uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product’s
enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to
constitute an electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within
an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert you to the
presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the
appliance.
WARNINGS:
1 Read Instructions – All the safety and
operating instructions should be read
before the appliance is operated.
2 Retain Instructions – The safety and
operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
3 Heed Warnings – All warnings on the
appliance and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4 Follow Instructions – All operating and
use instructions should be followed.
5 Power Sources – This product should
be operated only from the type of
power source indicated by the marking
situated on the rear panel. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company.
6 Grounding or Polarisation – The
appliance is not required to be
grounded. Ensure the plug is fully
inserted into the wall outlet or
extension cord receptacle to prevent
blade or pin exposure. Versions of the
product marked for use with 110V –
120V power supplies are equipped
with a power cord fitted with a
polarised alternating line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit onto 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 polarised plug.
When using an extension power-supply
cord or a power-supply cord other than
that supplied with the appliance, it
should be fitted with the appropriate
moulded-on plugs and carry safety
approval appropriate to the country of
use.
7 Power Cord Protection – Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed on or against
them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
8 Overloading – Do not overload wall
outlets, extension cords or integral
convenience receptacles, as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
9 Ventilation – The amplifier panel at the
rear of the product forms part of the
cooling mechanism and must not be
obscured by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Ensure the heat sink fins are aligned
vertically to ensure proper cooling. The
product should not be placed in a
built-in installation, such as a rack,
bookcase or cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
10 Heat – The product should be situated
away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
11 Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
12 Water and Moisture – Do not use this
product near water – for example, near
a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool and the like.
13 Object and Liquid Entry – Never push
objects of any kind into this product
through openings, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product. Do not place any
object containing liquid on top of the
product.
14 Cleaning – Unplug the product from
the wall outlet before cleaning. Refer to
