IMPORTANT SAFETY & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC SHOCK , OR INJURY TO PERSONS‌

WARNING: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.  Read all the Safety and Installation Instructions and Explanation of Graphic Symbols before using the product.

2.  This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet which is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use an adaptor which defeats the function of the equipment-grounding conductor. If you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded, check with a qualified serviceman or electrician.

3.  Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or the like.

4.  This product should only be used with a stand or cart that is recommended by the manufacturer.

5.  This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and speakers or headphones, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.

6.  This product should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

7.  The product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other products that produce heat.

8.  The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product.

9.  This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider than the other). This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

10.  The power supply cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. When unplugging the power supply cord, do not pull on the cord, but grasp it by the plug.

11.  Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

12.  The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A.  The power supply, power cord or plug have been damaged;

B.  Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the product;

C.  The product has been exposed to rain;

D.  The product does not appear to be operating normally or exhibits a marked change in performance;

E.  The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

13.  Do not attempt to service the product beyond that described in the user maintenance instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

14.  WARNING: Do not place objects on the product’s power supply cord, or place the product in a position where anyone could trip over, walk on, or roll anything over cords of any type. Do not allow the product to rest on or be installed over cords of any type.

Improper installations of this type create the possibility of a fire hazard and/or personal injury.

Increase the separation between the instrument and the receiver.

Connect the instrument into an outlet on a circuit other than the one to which the receiver is connected.

If necessary consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

The normal function of the product may be disturbed by strong electromagnetic interference. If so, simply reset the product to resume normal operation by following the instructions in the manual. If normal function does not resume, please use the product in another location.
