Important Safety Instructions

Important Safety Instructions (Continued)

QUICK START GUIDE

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this ap­paratus to rain or moisture.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no ob­jects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manu-

facturer’s instructions.

• 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 grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prongs are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• 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

over.

• Do not spill food or liquids onto the unit.

• Do not push any objects into the free slots. Doing so will damage the unit, can

cause re or electrical shock, and can short out interior components.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

• Do not block cooling vents.

• Do not place the equipment in a closed-in wall unit.

• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief loop,

not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if
you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before
disconnecting the cables.

• When you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented
and aligned before connecting to avoid bending connector pins.

• For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the
equipment for easy access.

• Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
