IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical
shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and use. Keep these
instructions handy for future reference. Take special note, adhere to all warnings, and always follow the instruction on the
unit and in the instructions and service manuals.

1. Water and Moisture - The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

2. Ventilation - The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with it’s proper ventilation.
For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also,
it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.

3. Heat - The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4. Power Sources - The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions
or as marked on the appliance.

5. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). As a safety feature this plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable
to fit the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of your polarized plug.

6. Power-Cord Protection - 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. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cord exits the unit to where
it is plugged into an AC outlet.

7. Cleaning - The unit should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
