Before using this unit please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below. Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Power Source -- The unit should be connected to power sup- ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or

as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safe- ty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods -- When the unit is not used, turn the power off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

6. Carts and Stands -- The unit should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. The unit and cart combination should be mov-

ed with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart com- bination to overturn.

T. Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The unit should not be mounted

to a wall or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instruc- tions.

Maintenance

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. To correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

3, Heat -- The unit should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators and the like. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 35°C

(95° F).

ject this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
