Caution
To avoid damage to the system:  Use the correct AC input voltage range.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:  Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis
cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.
Battery:  Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.  Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by
the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the battery
manufacturers instructions.
Joystick or MIDI port:  Do not use any joystick or MIDI device that requires more than
10A current at 5V DC. There is a risk of fire for devices that exceed this limit.
FCC and DOC Statement on Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for
help.
Notice:
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.
