Do not damage, break or modify the power
cord.
Placing a heavy load, heating, pulling or
forcibly bending the cord can damage it
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
Do not use this set at a voltage other than
the supply voltage stated on the set.
Otherwise, a fire, an electric shock or
system failure can result.
