The ZK500 should not be used near water or in an environment where exposure to liquids is possible. This includes but is not exclusive to areas where splashing, dripping

, leaks, spills, and exposure to rain can occur. Liquid containers should not be placed on or near the ZK500 Stereo System. The ZK500 Stereo System should not be cleaned with liquid cleaners. Use only a dr

y cloth to clean the ZK500. Only use the ZK500 in areas with adequate open ventilation allowing

at least 4” of space on all sides of the ZK500. Do not set the ZK500 on any surface or cover t

he ZK500 with any object that could impede the airflow to and from the ZK500 Stereo System. The ZK500 should not be placed near any source of heat. This includes but is not limite

d to stoves, radiators, heating elements, electronic heat sources, and areas where

excessive solar heat can be generated. Do not install the ZK500 near any flame or place any flammable objects near t

he device. The power outlet used to provide power to the ZK500 should be accessible at all times. The polarized 2-prong electrical plug has a wide blade and narrow blade that

should fit into the corresponding wide and narrow receiving

connections of your electrical outlet. Do not force the plug into the outlet. If the plug provided with the unit does

not fit, consult with an electrician to upgrade the electrical outlet accordingly. T he power cord should be situated in a way that protects it from being pinched, walked on, tripped over, or

accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet or the electrical

input on the ZK500. Do not run the cable through doorways or underneath objects that could damage the wire or

tear the insulating material surrounding the wire. Only use the manufacturer supplied power supply with the ZK500. We recommend using a surge protector/power conditioner and unplugging the ZK500

during any electrical storms or

situations that could cause voltage fluctuations in the electrical system.
