OPERATOR SAFETY SUMMARY

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the equipment and keep this
manual for future reference. The information in this summary is intended for operators. Carefully observe all warnings,
precautions and instructions both on the apparatus and in the operating instructions.

Warnings

• Water and moisture - Do not operate the

equipment under or near water - for example near
a bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool or in areas
with high humidity.

• Cleaning - Unplug the apparatus from the wall

outlet before cleaning or polishing. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a lint-free
cloth lightly moistened with water for cleaning the
exterior of the apparatus.

• Ventilation - Do not block any of the ventilation

openings of the apparatus. Install in accordance
with the installation instructions. Never cover the
slots and openings with a cloth or other material.
Never install the apparatus near heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
third prong is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician.

• Power-Cord Protection - Route the power cord so as

to avoid it being walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against it, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point
where the cord exits from the apparatus.

• Accessories - Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Lightning - Unplug this apparatus during lightning

storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• ISDN cables - CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire,

use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication
line cord.

• Servicing - Do not attempt to service the apparatus

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltages or other hazards, and
will void the warranty. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

• Damaged Equipment - Unplug the apparatus from

the outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel
under the following conditions:

 When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed
 If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into

the apparatus

 If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or

moisture

 If the apparatus has been subjected to excessive

shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been
damaged

• Attachments - Only use attachments as

recommended by the manufacturer.

 If the apparatus fails to operate in accordance with

the operating instructions
