• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long peri-

ods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as 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.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT remove cover or back panel. No
user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied personnel.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the power cable into properly grounded
sources. Use only properly grounded extension cords and adaptors, if they are
needed.

• The AC main plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.

• Make sure nothing is lying on any of the cables.

• Be sure the cables are located where they will not be stepped on or tripped
