Important Safety Instructions

1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or

included in the manual.

2. This product is intended to be used with a 3-wire grounding type plug – a plug

which has a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to
ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by
modifying the plug or using an adapter.

Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle
for the presence of earth ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the
installation must not continue until a qualified electrician has corrected the problem.

If a 3-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified
electrician to determine another method of grounding the equipment.

3. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable

operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these slots and
openings must not be blocked or covered.

4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product

where persons will walk on the power cord.

5. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may
