be read prior to use. The safety and operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.
Heed Warnings — Follow all warnings on the device and in the instructions.

a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a
swimming pool).
Accessories — Do not place device on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The device may fall, causing injury to a child or adult, and damage the
device. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer or sold with the device. Follow the manufacturer’s mounting
instructions, and use a recommended mounting accessory.
Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure
reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not block or cover these
openings, and do not place the device on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Do not place the device in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
it provides proper ventilation as specifi ed by the manufacturer.
Heat — The device should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices that produce heat.
Power Sources — Use this device with the power source indicated on its
marking label. If you are not sure of your home’s power type, consult your

Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular
11
Page 12
attention to cords at plugs, outlets, and the point where they exit from the device.
Non-use Periods — The device’s power cord should be unplugged from the
outlet when it is to be left unused for a long period of time.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or other
outlets. This can result in fi re or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids — Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into
this device through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fi re or electric shock.
Carts and Stands — If the device is used with a cart or stand, the cart or

• When there a distinct change in performance.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service this device yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service personnel.

specifi ed by the manufacturer or parts with the same characteristics as the
original part. Substitutions may result in fi re or electric shock.
Safety Check — Upon completion of service or repairs, ask the service technician
to perform safety checks to determine if the device is in operating condition.
Lightning — For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the
device is unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This
prevents damage due to lightning and power surges.
Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
