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 of 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 equipment-grounding
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. WARNING: This product is equipped with an AC input voltage
selector. The voltage selector has been factory set for the mains
supply voltage in the country where this unit was sold. Changing
the voltage selector may require the use of a diff erent power supply
cord or attachment plug, or both. To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, refer servicing to qualified maintenance personnel.

4. 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.

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

6. 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 at a level that is
uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the
ears, you should consult an audiologist.

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

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

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

10. 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.

11. 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.

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

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

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
B. Objects have f allen, 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.
