IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

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 the polarized plug by forcing the plug into the outlet.

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.
