if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor
personal injury, and/or property damage.

When Installing the Unit

• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with
wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock.

• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to
grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord
itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power
supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit's cover.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the unit
and result in fire.

• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in
locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or
steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric
shock.

When the Unit is in Use

• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of
time with the sound distorting. This is an indication of
a malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to
generate and result in a fire.

• Switch off the power, and unplug the power supply
plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when
cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or
more. Doing otherwise may cause a fire or electric
shock.

An all-pole mains switch with a contact
separation of at least 3 mm in each pole shall be
incorporated in the electrical installation of the
building.

The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol,
