To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture. Do not operate your AT-212 near a pool or other standing
water. Make sure all blades on the polarized power plug are fully inserted
into the power source. Ensure the powercord is not stretched, pinched or
otherwise abused. Ensure the power cord is routed to avoid foot traffic.
