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 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) Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A groundingtype plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the 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.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as a 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.
Power Source Warning
A label on this product indicates the correct
power source for this product. Operate this
product only from an electrical outlet with the
voltage and frequency indicated on the product
label. If you are uncertain of the type of power
supply to your home or business, consult your
service provider or your local power company.
The AC inlet on the unit must remain accessible
and operable at all times.
Ground the Product
WARNING: Avoid electric shock
and fi re hazard! If this product connects
to coaxial cable wiring, be sure the cable
system is grounded (earthed). Grounding
provides some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
Protect the Product from Lightning
In addition to disconnecting the AC power from
the wall outlet, disconnect the signal inputs.
Verify the Power Source from the
On/Off Power Light
When the on/off power light is not illuminated,
the apparatus may still be connected to the
power source. The light may go out when the
apparatus is turned off, regardless of whether it
is still plugged into an AC power source.
Eliminate AC Mains Overloads
WARNING: Avoid electric shock
and fire hazard! Do not overload AC
mains, outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles. For
products that require battery power or
other power sources to operate them,
refer to the operating instructions for
those products.
