Installation Location
To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit •
on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf
and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.
Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for •
ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make
certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.
THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANG LE IS INTENDED TO
ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANC E
(SERVICING) INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE PRODUCT.
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface. •
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct •
sunlight or heating equipment.
Avoid moist or humid locations. •
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a
soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry
immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile
cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal
parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other
components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new HD 990 during shipment
were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you
save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or should the unit
ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is done
by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a
more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same
manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the
carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment and
discard those materials at a local recycling center.
