near a swimming pool and the like. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Slots or openings
in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating,
and these openings must not be blocked or covered. Placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface should never
block the openings. The product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.
10. Power cords and power adapters – Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer.
Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways that can cause the
cord to fray or crack. This can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave the cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs,
toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleaners. Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the cord or power
adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the
connector terminals on the adapter which can eventually result in overheating.
Always ensure that all power cords connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs of overheating (such as
deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter.
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or overheating or where the
power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Placing the product in an unstable location such as an
unstable cart, bracket or table, may cause the product to fall, causing serious injury to a child or an
adult, and serious damage to the product.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. A surge-filter can
also prevent damage and is recommended.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
