• Do not modify this product, as a fire, electrical shock, or breakdown
could result. If the product employs a laser, the laser beam source could
cause blindness.

Do not unplug and plug in the power cord with a wet hand, as an electrical shock could result.
Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure to do this
could result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not scratch, abrade, place a heavy object on, heat, twist, bend, pull
