8. Accessories: Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. Use only with carts, stands, tripods, brackets, or tables
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of

excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation: Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating. These openings should never be blocked by placing the product on
a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization: This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug that has
one blade wider than the other. This plug will only fit into the power outlet in one direction. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the direction of the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
